The Newton Children’s Book Festival was a big success! We had more than one thousand parents, guardians, grandparents, teachers, librarians, and children come to our event in search of authors and illustrators to meet!
Our line up of 60+ authors and illustrators was the primary reason for our big draw. It was also great fun to gather together for this event.
Our thanks to our sponsors! We are immensely grateful to the local organizations sponsoring the Newton Children’s Book Festival. Their generous support is instrumental in promoting literacy and fostering a love of reading among young readers in our community.

This event would not have happened without Jannie Ho, who created the wonderful poster illustration, and my committee members, David A Kelly (author of the Ballpark Mysteries series and more) and Jean Stehle (Oak Hill Middle School librarian here in Newton).
Finally, our heartfelt thanks to Tui T. Sutherland who hosted a SOLD OUT pre-event at the West Newton Cinema.
We also want to thank the West Newton Cinema Foundation and the New Art Center for donating their spaces for us to use for our events!
Our 2nd annual Newton Children’s Book Festival will be held on Sunday, November 16th from 11 am to 3 pm.
