Mark Crilley, author and illustrator of the book Akiko on the Planet Smoo is the special guest speaker. The event includes fun breakout sessions for children to develop their writing and reading skills, and for adults to learn tips for supporting their children's literacy development.
Children participate in three sessions for 30 minutes per session, so please register each child participant for 3 separate sessions. (Stay tuned - we'll post session descriptions here when registration opens in October.)
Adults attend a special session designed to support children's reading and writing development, but there is no need to make a selection.
Please note that session capacity is limited, so early registration is recommended.
