The First Annual Chesapeake Children’s Book Festival

Picture book debut Author put together this great wrap-up of The Chesapeake Children’s Book Festival, where three of us (Robin Newman, Nancy Armo, Wendy BooydeGraaff) attended.

Over 30 authors and illustrators from eleven East Coast states and the Midwest participated in the First Annual Chesapeake Children’s Book Festival to support the Talbot County Free Library in Easton, Maryland. It was an extremely special day.

And check out all of their amazing titles!

Here are a few photographic highlights:
