What has 58 legs and has written more than 200 books? The 29 children’s authors who will be meeting and greeting kids at the Kids’ Book Bash on November 28, 2009.

The Bash is a first-ever Victoria event and a chance for children and adults to meet their favourite B.C. authors and illustrators, win prizes, make bookmarks, buy books and have them signed just in time for Christmas.

Kids of all ages, school groups, teachers, librarians and parents are all welcome — and it’s free.

Authors displaying their newest works are: Dan Bar-el, Fiona Bayrock, Dianna Bonder, Della Burford, Bev Cooke, Mike Deas, Penny Draper, Sarah Harvey, Laura Langston, Julie Lawson, Adrienne Mason, Rachel Muller, Sylvia Olsen, Pamela Porter, Sheri Radford, Jeff Rud, Margriet Ruurs, Diane Silvey, Andrea Spalding, Robin Stevenson, Nikki Tate, Laura Trunkey, John Wilson, Valerie Wyatt and Beryl Young. Also attending are authors Constance Horne, Sheryl McFarlane, Kit Pearson and Eric Wilson.

Cadboro Bay Book Company will be selling books. The Paint Box School of Art will help kids make personalized bookmarks. And emcee Nikki Tate will be conducting prize draws all through the afternoon.

Kids’ Book Bash is sponsored by Orca Book Publishers, CWILL-BC, the Greater Victoria Public Library, Cadboro Bay Book Company, The Market Stores and The Paint Box School of Art.
