One of my favorite days of the year is coming up next Saturday, September 28th—the annual Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival. Running from 10am–4pm, at the Chappaqua Train Station, the event brings together an impressive array of kidlit authors and illustrators from all around the northeast. The most hard-working crew of librarians, educators, and volunteers make the day well worth it for those of us who have to travel a distance. Best of all, we kidlit creators get to connect directly with readers.

I’ll be signing copies of my latest picture book collaboration with author Sharon G. Flake, YOU MAKE ME SNEEZE!, along with my other books—including as always, a few science picture books. I hope to see you there!
