- Network with fellow authors, educators, and influencers in children’s literature.
- Engage with community attendees through read-alouds or fun activities at your table (e.g., crafts, drawing contests).
- Be part of a lively, family-friendly event with music, food trucks, face painting, and more!
To participate, we ask for a $60 fee to cover event logistics. We also ask that you:
- Promote the event on your social media at least 4 times.(We'll share posts you can feel free to adapt!)
- Personally invite 10+ friends, family, and fans to attend.

This is an incredible opportunity to celebrate diverse literature, connect with the community, and highlight the importance of representation in children’s books.
We look forward to having you join us for this exciting event!
