SUMMARY:IN-PERSON: Hayley & John Rocco
DESCRIPTION:We have a very special event in store for you with Hayley and John Rocco who will introduce their new picture book\, How to Send a Hug\, and conduct a special letter-writing workshop for kids. The Rocco’s will talk about the inspirations for the book including important historical letters including one from the Wright Brothers to the Smithsonian\, and one from Clyde of Bonnie and Clyde fame to Henry Ford telling him how much he loves the car. All you need to bring is the address for the person you’ll be mailing a hug! \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nLearn how to send a hug to someone you love today! This heartfelt story shows readers the incredible impact writing and receiving handwritten letters can have on yourself and others. \nABOUT THE CREATORS:\nHayley Rocco has loved children’s books her whole life and worked in publishing for more than a decade promoting them. She’s been sending hugs since she was six. It was only natural that she created a book about how to do just that. Hayley lives in Rhode Island with her husband\, two cats\, and a very excitable dog. This is her first book. \nJohn Rocco is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of many acclaimed books for children\, including Blackout\, recipient of the Caldecott Honor and How We Got To The Moon\, recipient of the Sibert Honor and Longlisted for the National Book Award.  John has been learning to send hugs\, and is starting to get pretty good at it.

SUMMARY:IN-PERSON: Amanda Foody
DESCRIPTION:After launching Amanda’s THE ACCIDENTAL APPRENTICE\, the first book in her Wilderlore series in an online event\, An Unlikely Story is over the moon excited to welcome her in person to introduce the third book\, THE EVER STORMS! Her action-packed series has become a huge hit and you won’t want to miss this chance to hear all the lore in Wilderlore from the creator herself! Following Amanda’s presentation\, she will answer audience questions and sign books. \nABOUT THE BOOK:\nBarclay and his friends find new dangers and fresh adventure when they encounter mysterious sandstorms in the Desert in this thrilling third book of the New York Times bestselling Wilderlore series. \nAfter saving the Sea\, Barclay and his fellow apprentices are eager to take part in a new kind of adventure—the Symposium\, a set of courses that all apprentices of the Lore Keeper Guild need to pass before they can take their licensing exam. Barclay is excited to travel to the Desert to study at the University of Al Faradh\, the most respected school in all the Wilderlands\, and to reunite with the new friends he made at the Sea. \nHe’s slightly less excited about the Tourney\, the traditional\, good-natured prank war between the various apprentice tracks. As an Elsie\, he’s pretty sure he’ll have enough on his hands keeping up with the Symposium without having to worry about stink bombs and slime warfare. \nBut as mysterious\, unnatural sandstorms start to appear around the Desert\, there are more than just exams and bragging rights at stake. And the appearance of an exclusive\, magical library might just be the key to everything… \nABOUT THE AUTHOR:\nAmanda Foody is a New York Times and indie bestselling author of YA and children’s fantasy novels\, including the Wilderlore series\, the All of Us Villains duology\, the Shadow Game series\, and more. She lives in Massachusetts with her partner and their feline Beastly companion\, Jelly Bean. Visit her at AmandaFoody.com or on Instagram @AmandaFoody.

SUMMARY:IN-PERSON: Grady Hendrix
