It\u2019s July. I know, I know. But blink and, alas, school days come \u2019round again. Then Autumn comes and with it, book festivals!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because this is the time of year when we try \u2014 oh, we try \u2014 to encourage & foster a love of reading. A love for books, and writing, and critical thinking. And one great way to do that is by attending a children\u2019s book festival. Meeting authors. Buying books. Getting signatures. Experiencing a fun, unique, literacy-centered activity with your children, your neighbor\u2019s children, your grandchildren, any old children you can beg, borrow, or steal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make America Read Again!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be there for all of these events, plus a special (and rare) book signing at the Open Door Bookstore in Schenectady, NY.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My apologies for not providing all the details here.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If only there was somewhere people could go to get quick, easy information right at their fingertips. A search engine that could instantly . . .\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am always deeply grateful to be invited to these events. It does my soul good to see young readers, and beautiful families, sharing a love for books.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE ARTS!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
