National selling children’s authors in Utah are putting this fabulous event together to help low-income children get books of their own! Read more about it on their website where you can also register and/or donate. (Show your support on Facebook .)
There will be a day event featuring authors teaching classes and an author panel, and an evening event with comedians, bands, and an auction. Some of my friends and I will be there helping with the auction so come say hi if you’re there.

About Jenni Elyse
It’s such a great event. Thanks for spreading the word!
My pleasure!
Neat. Maybe Nicole and I will check it out.
Becky – It does cost money, and I’m not sure if they allow young children at the event. So, you may want to check out the website just to make sure.
That sounds like a neat event. Every child should have a book. And not just one, millions! I can’t imagine not being able to read book to my kids. How sad. I hope it goes well.
Aymee – I hope it goes well too!
