It's baaaaaack! The best morning of the summer for kids in grades 1-6 will return again this July!
Our kidLITapalooza takes advantage of us hosting dozens of kidlit authors at our annual educators conference, and brings them in front of kids for a half a day of total magic! Kids will interact with authors all day long through activities, while parents enjoy book talks and time to shop. Then we all end the day together with one big author signing!
