Activities for children and families are an important part of the Southern Festival of Books: A Celebration of the Written WordSM. At the Festival, in addition to the many children's and young adult authors, the Children's Stage operates Saturday and Sunday during the event and features special activities for children of all ages. Musicians, poets, songwriters and storytellers encourage children to read, share stories and sing songs.
Birthday parties are held each year on the stage for the anniversaries of major children's books, with special appearances by the book's characters.
The Festival program features more than 200 authors each year, and approximately forty are children's authors and illustrators. Each participates in a panel discussion or offers a solo presentation, and each has a book signing immediately following his/her session.
