Thank you very much for discovering Take Your Child to a Bookstore Day! What a wonderful blog--about everything great :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words and for thinking up this event. Our family spent Take Your Child to a Bookstore Day at Books of Wonder in Manhattan, where a panel of authors, including Ann Brashares (of the Travelling Pants series), spoke to an appreciative crowd of teens and their parents.
