Book fair fun! It's apple & pumpkin picking time in New York, a great day to visit the Warwick Children's Book Festival. I'll be signing books along with many authors & illustrators. #childrensbooks #booksky #readers #kidlit #teachers #warwickNY @alexandersants.bsky.social @nutter3000.bsky.social

Tomorrow I will be at Fair Oak Village Hall for the Autumn Craft Market where there will also be free pumpkin craft activities for children. The Autumn Craft Market runs from 11-2. Hope to meet more readers there ☺️🎃
