Featured Author Biographies During this year's event, participants will have the
opportunity to come together to share their love of children's literature,
and to learn more about the successful ways to share that love with
youngsters. The program offers diversity, with large and small group
presentations, and many opportunities for one-to-one interaction with
colleagues and the featured authors and illustrators.
In addition to the adult activities, the R. Margaret Hamilton Children's
Hour, for children ages 5 to 12, will be held on Friday afternoon beginning
at 4:15 p.m. This event offers age specific workshops presented by the authors
to share their works and to discuss the process of writing and illustrating.
This festival was developed 29 years ago by Dr. William Bingman, professor
of educational professions, to honor two colleagues, both of whom held
children's literature as a great love. What has now become a premier event
for enthusiasts of children's literature, has grown from a small gathering
to over 350 participants. Admission to the Festival and the children's
workshop is by registration only and is limited in number.
