National Children’s Book Week (www.bookweekonline.com) is in full swing. There are book festivals from Orange County, California, to Hudson Bay. Families are going out with their kids and listening to story readings, attending workshops, and talking with authors and illustrators as the authors and illustrators sign newly purchased copies of the books. California boasts some of the biggest festivals in the country. I may be attending the Costa Mesa festival in October, 2010 with my new children’s picture book, “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!“.
