Illustration from The Little Little Girl with the Big Big Voice, by Kristen Balouch

If you  are in Brooklyn this Saturday, check out the Children’s Book Fair at the Brooklyn Museum. We go every year with our daughter and it’s a great time.

Brooklyn authors and illustrators set up tables in the big main entrance and you can go around and meet them, check out and purchase books, and get your books signed. There are also some cool activities for kids. Man, there are so many amazing illustrators and authors living in Brooklyn. This event is such a unique opportunity!
