Tell Me a Story: A Picture Book Panel with Deborah Wiles, Jorge Redmond & Michael Sampson

Time: 11:15 – 11:45 AM

Location: The Children & Young Adult Stage in the Lower Level of the First Baptist Church of Decatur, 308 Clairemont Ave, Decatur, Georgia 30030

A tribute to planting seeds of gratitude, an uplifting introduction to inspirational Black women in history and a beloved bear that eats his way through a rainbow of colors.

For many of us, we have standout picture books from our childhood that have passed down from generations. It’s a joy to unlock four new children’s titles – live at DBF! Join authors Henry Cole, Jorge Redmond, Michael Sampson and Deborah Wiles for high-energy performances of their children’s picture books. 

The panel discussion will be held on Saturday, October 5th at 11:15 AM at the Children & Young Adult Stage in the Lower Level of the First Baptist Church of Decatur. Following the panel, authors will proceed to signing tables to autograph books. 

Purchase your book from Little Shop of Stories via this link, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the festival.
