Children's Book Events in WA

There are so many really good children's book authors and illustrators in Washington State which has spawned many events this Fall.

At Washington State Convention Center, there is a display in the corridors of children's book illustrations. Some of these are already in published books, others are by illustrators who are in the process of getting published. If you are in downtown Seattle, try to catch this event before it ends on September 29, 2016. In addition, on September 17th, from noon to 2pm, Draw With Illustrators will be a fun time for children and their parents to paint and draw together.

You can also use the app, StQry to find book events and learn more about the illustrators and their books at the Convention Center.

On Saturday October 15th, Behind the Books conference for librarians will take place in Des Moines, Washington. At this event, authors and illustrators will present their books with a chance for librarians to talk with them about their books and see them first hand.

We are so lucky to have SCBWI to help coordinate these events that help readers and book creators come together. Happy reading!
