Children's Authors:

A special area will be set aside for children’s authors who will be personalizing and signing their books. Many will also hold demonstrations and performances for the kids.



Children will also enjoy meeting special guest Kathy O’Connell, host of WXPN’s award-winning program Kid’s Corner, and one of the country’s pioneers in children’s radio education and entertainment. Without question, some of the best entertainment of the Book Festival is in LOOMPALAND, from music to magic to colorful crafts!
