Philadelphia Book Festival

Yeah, I know that not everyone lives close enough to stop on by… But if you are in the area over the weekend, make plans to attend the Philadelphia Book Festival! There’s a lot going on, including performances by the amazing Patti Smith and Jeffrey Gaines.

The festival kicks off with a parade of children’s favorites including Madeline, Curious George, Corduroy, Star Wars Sith Lords and Storm Troopers, and more, hosted by Philadelphia’s own Monica Malpass and Karen Rogers. The parade will begin at 12:00 PM on Saturday, April 21 and kazoos will be provided. That’s right, kazoos! How could you not visit?

And guess who else will be appearing? None other than our own (yeah, I feel like I can call him that now) Brian Biggs. He’ll appear both days at HeadHouse Book’s booth between 11 AM and 7 PM; the tent will be on 20th and Wood Street, across the street from the Friends Book Corner. Joining him will be local author Cordelia Biddle, who wrote The Conjurer.

(Psst: The poster at the top was designed for the Philadelphia Book Festival by three-time Caldecott Award-winning illustrator David Wiesner.)

About Tiny Treasury

It's impossible to get rid of a bad children's book once it has entered your house. In fact, if history teaches us anything, it's that it will become a favorite. Your child will cling to it, sleep with it and worst yet, require you to read it over and over again.

At tinytreasury.com, our mission is separate the good from the bad. If I can save one parent from having to read a rhyming book about dancing pigs, then I'll know I've done my job.
