Bookamania, a fun-filled celebration of books for the whole family held at the Harold Washington Library Center, is less than a month away! Get ready for the big day by reading the books created by our special guests that will be joining us on this extraordinary day.
Bonny Becker and Kady MacDonald Denton, are the author and illustrator of A Library Book for Bear. As if it's not already a very special day, Bonny and Kady, who have been collaborating on books together since 2008, will be meeting for the first time at Bookamania! Read all about bear and mouse's friendship then meet their creators in real life!
Writer and illustrator Ashley Bryan has been a published author for more than 50 years and his latest book, Ashley's Bryan's Puppets, will make you want to make your own one-of-a-kind, found object puppet. Show Ashley what his book inspired you to create when you make your own puppet (like the one in the photo above) at Bookamania.
Dan Santat has illustrated and written many books including his latest creation, The Adventures of Beekle. Read this sweet story about a special friendship then come and ask Dan where all his creative ideas come from.
Bookamania is guaranteed to be a fun-filled event where you'll be able to play, make and learn, while celebrating books!
