Meet Our Authors & Illustrators

We had a magical day of stories, imagination, and the joy of reading!

A special THANK YOU to these authors and illustrators that committed to attend our 2025 festival. They spent the day meeting young readers, talking with families, and autographing and inscribing their books, which were available for purchase. Thanks for such a wonderful day of discovery and fun!
