Be A Bookworm

Teach your kids that reading can be fun by introducing them to the people who write their favorite books. As part of national Children’s Book Week (May 13-19), Barrington Books will host a Festival of Children’s Books to help instill and develop a lifelong love of reading in children. Barrington Books is kicking off their celebration on Wednesday with a presentation and book signing with bestselling authors Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black for the 10th Anniversary Launch of The Spiderwick Chronicles. The first 50 guests will receive a free sketchbook. Then on Thursday, there is a story hour and drawing demonstration featuring Barrington’s Mary Jane Begin, author and illustrator of My Little Pony: Under the Sparkling Sea. Friday will feature a middle grade author night featuring book talks, Q&A and signings with award-winning authors such as Lynda Mullaly Hunt of One for the Murphys and Kimberly Newton Fusco of Beholding Bee.
