WNY Childrens Book Expo

The 5th annual KidsLit Week & WNY Children’s Book Expo (WNYCBE) will take place from November 4, 2019 through November 9, 2019. The Expo kicks off with KidsLit Week and will once again conclude with Expo Saturday at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, a day-long showcase of award-winning children’s authors and their beloved books.

KidsLit Week from November 4th through November 8th will feature internationally acclaimed authors and illustrators who are scheduled to visit over 75 area schools, libraries, and other cultural venues from the PA line to Niagara Falls. The visits aim at inspiring a love of books among students in grades Pre-K through middle school. In these visits, authors and illustrators will participate in readings and give interactive presentations about their work, how they became an author or illustrator and the importance of storytelling.

Expo Saturday on November 9th, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. will feature a showcase of award-winning children’s authors and illustrators. Children will have the opportunity to interact with 40 Rockstar authors and illustrators through readings, book-signings, presentations, and demonstrations.
