We love words, writers, and reading. Books & Authors, a juried book fair, is our chance to celebrate local talent and give authors a place to come out of their ivory towers and meet their readers, sell their books, and mingle with other ink-stained folk, right here in Leon & Lulu. Once again, we are teaming up with The Detroit Free Press Gift of Reading, and we will be collecting children's books for their organization to distribute to children in Detroit.
Fox 2 News Anchor and author Alan Lee will be here from 11-1 to discuss his new book, "Sandstorm." Bring the kids to meet the Detroit Free Press Yak from 1-2, then stick around for story time with your favorite children's authors from 2-3. All raffle & t-shirt proceeds, as well as 10% of the day's sales will be donated to the Gift of Reading.
