BRING YOUR CHILD TO A BOOKSTORE DAY
Author Signing: 9 am-12 pm
Free Books for Children: All Day!
It’s back! We are thrilled to announce that Bring Your Child to a Bookstore Day is back this year at Longfellow Books. Join us on Saturday December 3rd for the most exciting day of the year…every child that comes into the store can pick out any book they want, up to $10 in value, absolutely free! And joining us this year from 9am-12pm will be two of our perennial favorites — Chris Van Dusen and Ryan T. Higgins — joined by celebrated author and illustrator, Tom Booth. They’ll be signing books and meeting the families all morning.
In years past we’ve given away nearly 500 books to local children…We’d like to see if we can double that number this year…so tell all your friends!
Note: for the health of everyone, we will not be starting the day with a performance by Portland Stage as we have in years past. We hope you understand.
CHRIS VAN DUSEN is the author-illustrator of The Circus Ship, If I Built a School, Big Truck Little Island, and many other books for children.
RYAN T. HIGGINS is the author-illustrator of Mother Bruce, Bruce’s Big Storm, We Don’t Eat Our Classmates, and many other titles.
TOM BOOTH is the author-illustrator of This is Christmas and Day at the Beach, and illustrator of Library Books Are Not for Eating! and many more books for children.
