Browse About Books 2024

Colleen Rowan Kosinski will sign her new book, “A Home Again,” from 1 to 3 p.m., Friday, June 28, at Browseabout Books in Rehoboth Beach.

Home is where the heart is. While that phrase usually speaks to human feelings, in this lovely picture book, the sentiment takes on new meaning as a house reveals its own heart to the reader. By turns, the house feels joy, tenderness and sorrow as its first family moves in, grows and moves away. But the heart is a funny thing, and hope – and eventually love – prevail as a brand-new family arrives, and the house experiences a gamut of emotions.

Colleen will be signing Lilla’s Sunflowers at this year’s 2nd Annual Chesapeake Children’s Book Festival.

More than 30 prominent authors and illustrators will participate in the second annual Chesapeake Children’s Book Festival on Saturday, June 17. The festival will be held at the Talbot County Free Library in Easton, Maryland, from 10 am until 3 pm.

The festival is a free public, rain-or-shine event that celebrates children, community, and literacy. “We live in a community that loves books, children and our library. The Chesapeake Children’s Book Festival brings all three together throughout a fun-filled day”, said Scotti Oliver, assistant director of the Talbot County Free Library. Attendees can meet their favorite author or illustrator, listen to their readings as they bring their characters to life, buy an autographed book, or discuss the inspiration behind their writings.

From heroes to zebras, to witches and mice, and every imaginable character in between, children from pre-school ages to teens will delight in written stories that highlight moments of curosity, exploration, and history. The fun-filled schedule for the day offers music, hands-on-crafts and make-a-book, light refreshments, book sales, and games, prizes and art exhibits.
