From my blog, September 2008:

I assumed that you couldn’t bring photo-taking things to the White House breakfast, and I was wrong, so Salman Rushdie took this photo of me and Maddy on his phone, to record the event for posterity. In the background Abraham Lincoln pretends to ignore Guys Read founder Jon Scieszka, as Jon proudly displays his Ambassador For Children’s Literature medal to the world. He says he’s not sure where to wear such a medal in everyday life. I ran into Brad Meltzer there and we talked about the Batman two-parter I’m writing and the fun of leaping from medium to medium, and I met Carrie Fisher and told her the story of How Carrie Fisher Probably Saved My Life — a Tale of the 1987 Hurricane.
