Our book-related activities involved lots of sneaking around, stealing things, and a green crepe paper streamer laser maze. Lauren Magaziner: Lauren’s book, Pilfer Academy, was a featured book at To Be Continued in 2016. We’re dying to do a project for The NOT So Quiet Library. Zachariah OHora: Zachariah’s distinctive illustrative style has graced blog twice in books, once for Wolfie the Bunny and again for The Teacher’s Pet. Steve Light: Master wielder of all things fountain pen, Steve caught our eye with Zephyr Takes Flight, and we just HAD to do a steampunk airship project. She’s inspired so many projects…probably because her books are so fun and amazing. Margery Cuyler: Margery’s Skeleton for Dinner is totally hilarious, and we hope we did her book justice with our dancing, glowing skeleton marionette project.Īme Dyckman: Ame has had three featured projects on our blog! A robot marionette for Boy + Bot, a bouncing baby wolf for Wolfie the Bunny, and a raucous tea party game for Tea Party Rules. Her books are suspenseful, spooky, and straight up awesome. Tracey Baptiste: The author of The Jumbies now has a sequel out called, Rise of the Jumbies.

But if we may be so bold as to make a few blog connections to this year’s festival attendees? Here’s the 2018 line-up if you’d like to see it. The public library always invites terrific authors and illustrators. My library was there in 2010 as well, doing a “ Books Done Wrong” activity! My personal highlights over the past 12 years of the book festival…receiving writing advice from Rebecca Stead, seeing my buddy Galen Longstreth sharing her adorable book, Yes, Let’s, and having a breakfast chat with Pseudonymous Bosch before the event. Poster art by Angela Dominguezįriends! Romans! Tri-State Countrymen! Travel henceforth to Princeton this weekend for the Princeton Public Library‘s legendary Children’s Book Festival! Every year, scores of talented authors and illustrators gather under the library’s big white tents in Hinds Plaza, meeting fans and signing books. Presented by the Princeton Public Library with sponsorship by jaZams.
