This past weekend marked a major milestone for Once Upon a Bookstore- co-hosting Fall River’s First Children’s Author Fair!
I know I sound like a broken record when professing my love and admiration for the book community, but I continue to be amazed by the generosity and encouragement of the people in it. So many authors and illustrators not only said yes to participating but also shared the kindest words of encouragement, congratulations, and offers of continued support. It meant more than I can put into words.
We also sent 30 books home with families with funding raised through raffle tickets, ARC donations, and customer donations 📚🫶🏼
We have already blocked off the weekend for next year’s: Second Annual Children’s Author Fair 🙌🏼
