Since 2019, our team has hosted hundreds of authors, illustrators, and kidlit luminaries in pursuit of our mission:

To joyfully connect kids, families, and educators with awesome and inclusive books that represent the world around them—and the world that just might be.

And? We're just getting started!

But travel expenses and lodging for visiting artists, combined with the costs of offsite venue rental and event staffing, add up quickly. (And we dream of being able to compensate our visitors for their valuable effort and time.)

There are SO MANY authors and illustrators we'd love to bring to Northampton: Can you please help us make it a reality?
