Book Beat is happy to announce that the Read in the Park event will be returning this year on Sunday, May 1st from 1 to 3 p.m at Berkley High School. This is the 4th year of Read in the Park and participating authors will be Natalie Taylor, Bryan Chick, Wong Herbert Yee, Scott Seegert and illustrator John Martin (and perhaps a visit from their friend Vordak the Incomprehensible?). Read in the Park will be held in the Collaborative Center at Berkley High School. (It is on 2325 Catalpa, at 11 and 1/2 mile East of Coolidge facing Catalpa.) This is a free, fun and community wide celebration of books and reading for children, young adults and their families. This year’s Read in the Park falls on El día de los niños/El día de los libros, The International Day of the Child and Day of the Book, a day recognized by the United Nations. This will be a great opportunity to introduce children to national and internationally known Detroit area authors and illustrators. The Book Beat has invited some of our favorite area writers to this special afternoon event. Below are some short descriptions of the books and authors with links to learn more. We hope to see you there! We can’t reach everyone, so please pass this event info along to people you think should know about it. Thanks for your support and we hope to see you there!!!
