Every other year when Author Fest comes to Belle Aire, your child will get the chance to meet and talk with a published children’s author or illustrator! They will speak to classes about their books and about being an author. This is an amazing opportunity to meet a REAL author in a small group setting. Teachers and classes will be preparing for these visits by discussing the authors and reading their books. Authors will be coming to your child’s classroom February 19th-21st, 2020 to share their experiences.
Each year a book signing opportunity is held at the Downers Grove Public Library during Author Fest.
Additional details will be posted soon
