29th Annual Family Trees: A Celebration of Children’s Literature
This annual family-focused event celebrates children’s books and a love of reading throughdozens of decorated story trees.
Crafted by talented local volunteers and organizations, each tree features hand-made decorations inspired by a picture book.
Visitors can explore the artistic trees and families can sit and read together or do a festive scavenger hunt.
Experience – in an entirely unique way – both beloved classic stories and new books from award-winning local authors and illustrators.
This year’s honorary chair is author and illustrator Micha Archer.
“What a wonderful tradition! Years ago I decorated the Family Trees BIG tree for a book I illustrated called Lola’s Fandango by Anna Witte, about a little girl learning Flamenco from her dad. I covered the tree with flamenco dancers and polka dots! What a fun way to draw a child into a story! This year I am so honored that my new book What’s New Daniel? will be brought alive for this magical event!”
On Sunday, December 15, join us for Authors & Illustrators Day and a special visit from costumed characters.
