DETAILS

In 2004, the Junior League of Richmond established the Junior Book & Author program, a literary event held in various local schools for young adults in grades 4-8. Now reimagined and in partnership with the Children's Museum of Richmond and bbgb books, Junior Book & Author welcomes children between the ages 0-12 who love stories to come to the Children's Museum Chesterfield to listen to authors' presentations on their recent books! Our engaging panel of authors will also offer a brief interview session where we can learn more about how they come up with ideas, the writing process, and more. Expect audience interaction and fun, storytime memories! Light snacks and water will be provided, and book sales presented by local bookstore bbgb books with book signings will follow the main event. This year's featured authors and books are: "And Then Came You: When Families Grow, Love Grows Too" by Christina Shawn "The Great Puppypalooza" by Emily Ecton "Conspiracy at the Launch" The Virginia Mysteries Book 12 by Steven Smith Individual tickets are $12.00 per person and Family Four Packs are $42.00. Children who are less than 1 years old and sitting on laps (no concessions) do not require a ticket. All tickets are non-refundable. Marco's Pizza will be served at the event for $1 per slice! Books can be pre-ordered through bbgb books through https://bbgbbooks.com/events/4396120260228. If pre-ordering books for pickup at the event, please select “pick-up” as the delivery option at checkout, and indicate JLR in the comments section.
