This free event features storybooks, picture books, chapter books, and graphic novels—fiction and nonfiction—for kids from preschoolers to middle schoolers. From the prince of stars to the keeper of stories, to the queen of Ocean Parkway, there are characters and stories to delight any reader.

Throughout the day, children can chat with authors and illustrators, listen to readings and watch artists sketch, get books signed, and participate in book-related art projects. Plus, take a dip in the ocean by visiting Oliver Jeffers: Life at Sea, an interactive installation inspired by one of Jeffers’s beloved children’s books.
