On Saturday, September 21, from 12:00 to 5 p.m., the Anderson Center, along with the Red Wing Public Library and Mackin Educational Resources of Burnsville, will host the 14th Annual Celebration of Minnesota Children’s Authors and Illustrators, the state’s premier children’s book festival and one that has received national acclaim for its efforts to promote literacy among young people.

This year’s lineup includes MHS Press authors Bruce Giebink and Bill Johnson (Minnesota Bug Hunt), David LaRochelle (Minnesota’s Hidden Alphabet), and Deborah Jo Larson (One Frozen Lake), who will present with MHS Press managing editor Shannon Pennefeather.

As in past years, the event will offer book sales by Mackin Educational Resources, book signings and readings by authors, slide presentations and talks by illustrators, and bookmaking workshops for both children and parents. The Kerlan Collection, one of the finest children’s literature research libraries in the nation, will offer displays of rare manuscripts and illustrations.

This exceptional event is free of charge and open to the public. The Anderson Center is located at the intersection of Highways 19 and 61. Details in link, above.
