Family Fun Activities
Families will find plenty of fun at this year’s Buckeye Book Fair! Throughout the day, beloved children’s authors and illustrators will host special read-alouds and creative activities in our Family Fun Areas. The schedule is filled with talent, beginning with Marcy Campbell at 10:15 a.m., followed by Lindsay Ward, Conrad Storad, Lindsay Bonilla, Jashar Awan, and Katie Mazeika before noon. The afternoon continues with Blythe Russo, Allison Rozo, Florenza Lee, Christie Welsby, Merrill Rainey, Jessica Fries-Gaither, Mara Giglio, and Savanna Flakes wrapping up the festivities at 2:00 p.m.
Our Family Fun Areas are small, casual spaces where families can make bookish crafts and enjoy author read-alouds together. Please note that these are shared activity areas, not supervised childcare spaces, and children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Note: Authors may choose to read aloud from a title other than the one shown.
