MARCH 7 & 8, 2025

SAVE THE DATE!

Each year, the festival brings together educators, librarians, parents, students, authors, illustrators, editors, and those interested in children’s literature for a unique combination of full conference and small group sessions.  Next year our faculty is once again chosen from the "best of the best".  Award winning 2025 Festival faculty includes:

Vanessa  Brantley-Newton, Candace Fleming, Mitali Perkins, Jarrett Pumphrey & Jerome Pumphrey, and Dianne White. 

Why do people come—and keep coming back? In the words of past participants, it is: “A small, intimate conference where you can spend time with the authors and illustrators.” “A unique opportunity to spend time with others who share a passion about children’s books.” “Practical ideas for my classroom” and library.
