Explore-A-Story is a unique and fun-filled event for families of elementary school children in Greater Los Angeles. The event celebrates The Wonder of Reading’s purpose: to inspire in children the love of reading. It is an incredible day of readings by children’s book authors and illustrators, celebrity readers, performances, arts-and-crafts, movies, and a book fair with book signings . . . all inspired by great children’s literature. This years, Explore-A-Story-A Celebration of Books was a great success!
