About this Event

Please welcome Sarah Welch for a special storytime to celebrate How to Fill Your Hug Bank!

This event is free and open to the public.

  • Start time: 10:30 A.M.
  • Location: The BookKids Amphitheater on the second floor of BookPeople.

The author will be signing and personalizing copies of the book after the speaking portion of the event.

  • To get a book signed, a copy of the event book or an item of equal value must be purchased from BookPeople.
  • For high volume events, post-talk signing lines can become very long. For such events, we recommend arriving and checking in to the event early as that will get you into an earlier signing group.

Guidelines:

  • Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis and is not guaranteed.
  • If you have any accessibility concerns regarding seating, please contact [email protected]
  • If you have any other questions, please visit our Eventbrite FAQ. If your question isn't covered in the FAQ, feel free to email us at [email protected].
  • All event guidelines are subject to change.
  • BookPeople reserves the right to cancel or postpone this event if necessary.
  • There will not be a live stream or recording available.

About the author:

Sarah Welch is an editor, creative coach, and the founder of Inkdrop Lit. As a mom and lifelong reader (often under the covers, far past bedtime), she’s passionate about helping children explore the world and their place in it through books. Sarah lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, her son, a dog who can’t get enough hugs, and a cat who would prefer not to.

By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.

Thank you for supporting Sarah Welch and your local independent bookstore!
