The First 450 Kids Will Receive a FREE $15 Book Voucher at This Saturday’s Marlboro Book Festival!

–

I think the flyer tells you all you need to know.

This is the debut year for the Marlboro festival. I really have to hand it to the brave, selfless souls who took on the enormous task of creating children’s book festival from scratch. The level of detail is endless. The work is exhausting. Even the headaches have headaches.

I’ll be there along with 60 other authors and illustrators. 

Come support reading, support children’s book creators, but perhaps most importantly, support the people in your community who have worked so hard simply to enrich the lives in your neighborhoods, your schools, your town. Don’t let their efforts go without you taking a minute, or an hour, to show your appreciation.

Please stop by my table and say hello! And if you are a teacher or a PTA member interested in school visits, I’d love to chat with you!

Book Store Signing, October 25th

–

If you are in the vicinity, swing by and say hello. There will be Halloween-themed events on Jay Street, with children in costumes desperately seeking sugar.

If you are not in the vicinity, say, for example, you live in Norway, there are still expensive flights available!

Admittedly, okay, I’m not sure this signing would justify that kind of financial commitment. Even the time off from work might be challenging. Not to mention missing your — I assume — cross-country skiing lessons and your beloved dishes of mutton & cabbage stew and creamy fish soup. 

If it helps, nearby Troy has the World’s Greatest Farmer’s Market on Saturday, so you could make a great madcap weekend out of the trip.

See you there?

Oh, almost forgot.

I will also be signing other Halloween-themed books for as long as supplies last, including Jigsaw Jones: The Case of the Haunted Scarecrow and something from my “Scary Tales” series.

This Saturday, November 2nd: The Rochester Children’s Book Festival!

–

–

The obvious upside that comes with signing at book festivals is that we get to meet young readers. And that’s a beautiful thing. But more and more, I’m looking behind these kids and seeing a smiling grandparent, a mother with three other children in tow, a dad who looks more excited to be there than anybody in the room. The families that support literacy and believe in books and want that for their children. So they carve out the time, gas up the car, drive out to the festival, open their wallets, and act like the whole thing is xmas morning. I believe this is the festival’s 29th year and it couldn’t happen without a strong, generous community. Year after year, these inspiring families come out to the Rochester Children’s Book Festival. I’m so lucky to have a seat at the table. It does the heart good.

This Sunday the 13th: THE WARWICK CHILDREN’S BOOK FESTIVAL

–

 

This SUNDAY, the 13th, I’ll be at the Warwick Children’s Book Festival along with a great number of talented authors and illustrators. Warwick is such a sweet little town, with great shops and restaurants, especially beautiful this time of year. Worth a road trip. And the festival is great fun, too. If you do come, please stop by and say hello! For full details, stomp on this. 

I’ll be signing any number of books, old favorites and new, including these titles just published in 2024 . . .
