Don’t miss one of the best family events of the season! Meet forty of your favorite Brooklyn authors and illustrators as they share their latest books. This free event features storybooks, picture books, chapter books, and graphic novels—fiction and nonfiction—for young book lovers from preschoolers to middle schoolers.

Throughout the day, children can chat with authors and illustrators, listen to readings and watch artists sketch, get books signed, enjoy a performance by The Band Books, and participate in book-related art projects.
