Kid Friendly Event – Celebrate Moms, Kids Books and Local Book Sellers

Thanks to @suzigurl for sending us the link to this event. It is kind of a cool story that started with a Tweet back in Decemeber – a group of people organized some events in New England to celebrate authors of kids books. So a group of Pittsburghers are working to bring the events to town in time for Mother’s Day – Mothers Love Kids Books. This weekend there will be a number of authors reading their books at local book stores. A great way to spend some time with Mom and support local book stores.
