I won’t bury the lead: Every child under the age of 18 gets a FREE BOOK COUPON worth $15.
This is a community that puts its money where its mouth is. We all want this next generation to become readers, writers, thinking, book-lovers.
Come join me, and at least 100 other authors and illustrators, for a day that celebrates these core values.
And if you do come, please, stop by my table and say hello!

Do you see my cool “I Voted” sticker?
It was created by a fifth-grader named Annie Morton who attends a Montessori Magnet school. She won the third-annual contest put on by the country legislature, the Albany NAACP, and the League of Women Votes of Albany County.
Wow, Annie — thank you for using your talent and creativity for such a good cause. I love my sticker!
Nipper, tulips, and the Albany skyline. Just awesome.
As for the state of the world?
I haven’t given up hope!
Young people like Annie give us not only optimism for the future, but a reason to fight & resist in the here and now. We’re planting trees so Annie and her friends can sit in the shade.

The headline says it all.
Great festival, an embarrassment of riches.
I believe the number of authors & illustrators is at 150 and counting.
A lot of great people.
If you can find me — in the yellow tent — please say hello!
