Book Expo of America

 

Are you going to the BEA in May?Maybe you live near NYC.  If so, you are invited to a couple of events.  Sounds like a good time.

 

Illustrator’s please see opportunity, at the bottom, to get your work seen.

 

Come celebrate the launch of a new children’s book — One of Us, by Peggy Moss, about bravely being who you are! Bring the kids to Book

Culture on Broadway (Broadway at 114th St.) at 4:00pm for their very

own book launch, recommended for ages 5-11. They’ll be one of the first

to hear this brand-new story, read by the author, and will see

first-hand how a book is made. Then they’ll dive into the glue &

glitter with illustrator Penny Weber to create their very own starring

characters!  (Penny is a wonderful illustrator.  It should be great fun to see her in action.)

 

At 6:00, the party will move to Book Culture on 112th St (Between

Broadway & Amsterdam). Come hear amazing speakers, including author &

educator Lyn Mikel Brown (Packaging Girlhood), children’s

author/illustrator Dimitrea Tokunbo and her daughters, and girls &

women advocate and humorist Betsy Sweet. Then stay on to enjoy music by

singer/songwriter & disability advocate Brooke Fox, booksignings,

interactive art projects, refreshments, prizes, and lots more! And

don’t miss the exhibit of self-portraits by children’s book

illustrators, on display all week at Book Culture and on sale to

benefit Powered by Girl.
