The Breakthrough T1D Nevada Chapter is proud to be participating in the 11th Annual Vegas Valley Book Festival. The festival, the largest literary event in Las Vegas, will feature an entire day of festivities for children and youth on Saturday, Nov. 3, at the Historic Fifth Street School, located at 401 S. Fourth St. Admission to the Children’s Book Festival is free and open to the public.
From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., children and families will be able to enjoy nationally recognized authors, local authors, theatrical performances, storytellers, free books, costumed characters, hands-on activities, informational booths, exhibitions and much more. Events include readings and performances by award-winning authors and master storytellers.
The Vegas Valley Book Festival is a celebration of the written, spoken, and illustrated word. The festival has networked together a community-wide consortium of cultural organizations and sponsors to offer “a one-stop shopping experience for literature” through a wide range of programs built around sharing resources, developing audiences, advancing the craft of writing, and sharing the joys of reading. This annual festival is the largest literary event in the Las Vegas Valley, drawing more that 10,000 attendees during the season. Since its founding in 2002, the festival has presented over 600 authors and speakers and has produced or sponsored over 450 events, sessions, readings, workshops, and book signings. Most events are free and open to the public.
Please stop by the Breakthrough T1D booth on Saturday to meet the Sue Kowalski, author of Eddie’s Tale: A Young Child’s Introduction to Type 1 Diabetes.
