An idea...the beginning of something bigger

What's this? An event to celebrate mothers and kids and children's books, on Mother's Day? Yes, mark your calendar for May 10, 2009.

With the downturn of the economy, we want to support people buying children's books and specifically local Southwestern Pennsylvania authors and illustrators.

How did this start? On December 6th, author Mitali Perkins sent a tweet that launched an event that will happen in New England on Valentine's Day, with 43 bookstores and 142 authors/illustrators.
From a few humble tweets, Kids Love Authors was born.

Now we are trying to replicate this fantastic event in the Pittsburgh area, Mothers Love Kids' Books. Please join us!

Suzi can be reached via email at pghgurl30 at gmail.com. We are so excited about this and can't wait to talk to you about it!
