best children's authors and illustrators.
Join
Andrea Beck, Mike Deas, Julie Flett, Michael Kusugak, Julie Lawson,
Martin Springett, Joan Betty Stuchner, Paul Yee and Werner Zimmermann as
they enchant young and old with dynamic presentations that bring their
books to life. Find out what happened after the Titanic went down, hear
the true story of a Great Dane who adopted a Comox Valley fawn, learn
secrets shared by a hen from Chelm and discover graphic novels that will
entice even the most reluctant reader.

well as face painting and bubbles at lunch time. All sessions take
place in venues surrounding the Diana Krall Plaza in the heart of
downtown Nanaimo. The renowned BookFest presenters will be available
for book signing following the last session. Bring your own favourites
or buy books on site. The Harbourfront Library provides free
rhyme-time, musical storytime and puppet show for preschool children too
young to attend BookFest.

Canada's finest children's authors, illustrators and storytellers.
Family passes are $25.
