This awesome event is FREE and I’m giving away a big PRIZE PACKAGE!
Fairytale Town presents the 16th annual ScholarShare Children’s Book Festival on Saturday, September 24 and Sunday, September 25.
The festival features back-to-back readings and presentations from children’s book authors and illustrators, storytelling performances, hands-on literacy activities, and more! Admission is FREE to the public thanks to the event’s sponsor, ScholarShare College Savings Plan.
There is a great lineup of authors this year that I think you’ll be excited about! Authors and illustrators will be available to sign books immediately following their presentations. Families can also shop for featured books at the Time Tested Books booth.
Barbara Jean Hicks, author of Frozen: A Sister More Like Me and Once Upon a Parsnip,is headlining this event!
Presenting: Frozen: A Sister More Like Me & Once Upon a Parsnip
Time: Sat 11:30 AM, 3 PM & Sun 12 PM, 3 PM
In Frozen: A Sister More Like Me, Princess sisters Anna and Elsa of Arendelle couldn’t be more different. The only thing they agree on is that each would be a lot happier if her sister were more like her. Or would she? This tale is a spirited look at sibling relationships, told in alternating voices.In Once Upon a Parsnip: Join Little Red and Old Bully Wolf on a madcap shopping spree through the marvelous Fairytale Market! Little Red is simply looking for parsnips for Granny Hood’s lunch, but Mr. Wolf is determined to snare the stew-worthy trio of famous pigs who run the store―and getting back at Little Red wouldn’t be bad, either.

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
