A love of books usually sparks in childhood and often grows stronger and stronger as we get older. After all, there’s no better way to get lost in our imaginations than by meeting characters who tell stories we might never forget. That’s something worth celebrating. This one-of-a-kind festival in Rhode Island pays homage to children’s literature, and it promises a day jam-packed with fun (and good food!) for the whole family.
We Are All Readers, a one-day book festival, marks its second year on April 1, 2023, with a full day of fun planned. The second annual festival will take place at North Kingstown High School from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
