Sally Hewson

The goal of a reading festival is to inspire kids and parents to read together. The purpose of the book is to show community groups how to launch a reading festival in their own town. The story is told from the point-of-view of a child. It's simple — and inspiring.

The main character, Aneta Kowalski wins a reading contest. In this scene, the mayor asks for her help to create a Reading Town Festival. By following her steps, the reader learns how to accomplish it.
As soon as I saw the manuscript, I knew we would need just the right illustrator. My search led me to Linda Hendry who brought the characters and settings to life.
