Been busy on the computer the past few days, making posters for the 4th Annual Albany Children's Book Festival. Got some tips from my artistic ex-trade show designer, mother. We can take as many posters as we like because the organizers want to dot them around the room to make it look as festive and jolly as possible. (Do people even say "jolly" anymore? Maybe in England.) I decided on two custom made posters, and three book cover posters, plus a banner for my display table. Graveyard dirt and rattlesnake juice will also be on offer at my (Gappy's) table for people to try. Wonder if I'll be the only author offering gross-soundingsnacks - we'll see.
Coming up on Saturday, April 28th, is the Fourth Annual Children's Book Festival at the Albany Academy for Girls Silipigno Athletic Facility, 140 Academy Road, Albany, NY. Directions can be found atwww.albanyacademies.org. The Festival begins at 10:00 a.m., but one can sign up to attend a breakfast panel discussion beforehand. The keynote speaker will be Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked. I'm excited to be one of the authors and illustrators who will be doing readings and presentations throughout the day and manning tables with displays of their books for sale. The Tulip Queen will be there, and there'll be a storybook character parade for the kids. Should be a fun time. oh and with good food too. Even without participating, I'd look forward to a whole day of being immersed in one of my favorite pasttimes - children's literature. Here's a link to the website, so you can read all about it: http://www.albanychildrensbookfestival.com/#!
