RI Festival of Children’s Books and Authors

By Nicolette Baffoni | October 9, 2020

As with all things 2020, the RI Festival of Children’s Books and Authors will look different this year. This year’s festival will be a year-round virtual celebration featuring Rhode Island authors and illustrators. All author events will be conducted via Zoom. These free talks are open to the public and will include book giveaways, book signings, and activities. 

The Festival will kick off on Thursday, October 15th at 2pm with award-winning Rhode Island author and illustrator John Rocco.  John will be talking about his new picture book How We Got to the Moon, a 2020 National Book Award Finalist. Please register for this presentation if you would like to attend.

The Book Festival is going virtual but staying local this year and will be partnering with local bookstore Books on the Square. Purchase personalized copies of all of John Rocco’s books at Books on the Square, and use coupon code RIBookFestival when checking out.
