Nineteenth Annual Brooklyn Children’s Book Fair

Calling all young book lovers! Meet nearly 50 of your favorite Brooklyn authors and illustrators as they share their latest publications. This free event features storybooks, picture books, chapter books, and graphic novels—fiction and nonfiction—for kids from preschoolers to middle schoolers. From the prince of stars to the keeper of stories, to the queen of Ocean Parkway, there are characters and stories to delight any reader.

Throughout the day, children can chat with authors and illustrators, listen to readings and watch artists sketch, get books signed, and participate in book-related art projects. Plus, take a dip in the ocean by visiting Oliver Jeffers: Life at Sea, an interactive installation inspired by one of Jeffers’s beloved children’s books.

Participants include Sara Holly Ackerman, Selina Alko, Kristen Balouch, Artie Bennett, Galia Bernstein, Keith Brown, Matthew Burgess, Patti Calkosz, Arlène Elizabeth Casimir, Sylvia Chen, Nina Crews, Andrea D’Aquino, Liana Finck, Kate Fodor, John Patrick Green, Janelle Harper, Corey Ann Haydu, Kate Hosford, Louise Hung, Melissa Iwai, Qef Johnson, Cheryl Klein, Caron Levis, Jenny Liao, The Macaroons (Shawn Fogel, Dan Saks, and Dave Schneider), Sydra Mallery, Kate Milford, Goldy Moldavsky, Sarah Moon, Ariful Mowla, Cameron Roberson, Robin Rosenthal, Stephen Savage, Lauren Semmer, Aimee Sicuro, Christopher Silas Neal, Sarvenaz Tash, Laura Terry, Lisa Tolin, Michele Wong McSween, James Yang, M.O.
