Join us for the 26th Anniversary of the CT Children’s Book Fair this weekend – November 3-4, from 10-4pm each day in the Rome Commons Ballroom.
UConn will be hosting nearly 20 authors and illustrators with books for all ages. Among the noted authors visiting will be Caldecott and Newbery Honor winner Tomie dePaola (Strega Nona, 26 Fairmount Avenue), Parent’s Choice Gold winner Jennifer Richard Jacobson (Small as an Elephant), 5 time New York Times Best Books awards winner Barbara McClintock (Nothing Stopped Sophie, My Grandfather's Coat), and New York Times Best Illustrated Book award winner Stephen Savage (Polar Bear Night, Where’s Walrus?), among others.
We are also still look for volunteers! We need help with costume characters, arts & crafts activities, and reading stories. We are also looking for a dynamic MC for the day! If you are interested in volunteering for this great community event, please send an email to ctchildrensbookfair@gmail.com. More information about the Fair, can be found at www.bookfair.uconn.edu.
See you this weekend!
