If you are a parent, grand-parent, educator, child, care-giver or writer, the 12th annual Children Book Festival is bound to have something of interest for you. Whether you have a family that enjoys reading, or want to encourage a love of reading in others, this is a great weekend destination. I definitely plan on checking it out!
