Sunday, November 22
1:30 to 3:00 p.m.

A fun-filled, literary, family event with author readings, illustration workshops, and opportunities to buy books signed by the authors and illustrators (or "pawed" by protagonists) — just in time for the holidays! The books make thoughtful gifts for the animal-loving children in your life, and extras can be donated to the League's Read-2-Me program, which provides humane-themed books to classrooms, school libraries and students.

Come meet:

• Fred and Shakespeare, two rescue dogs with missions to do, who are featured in Elise Lufkin and Diana Walker's photo book To the Rescue
• Mary Quattlebaum, author of The Magic Squad, The Dog of Great Potential, and the Jackson Jones series, among other titles
• Jackie Urbanovic, author and illustrator of Duck at the Door, Duck Soup, Duck and Cover along with other titles
• Howard Edelstein, author of Scooter Strays
• Jeanne Pettenati, author of Galileo’s Journal
• Carol Hilliard, illustrator of I Like Dogs

Plus, enjoy free refreshments and meet dogs and cats for adoption.
