About 150 people attended, pretty evenly divided between parents and kids. Every kid took home a free book, and many parents bought books as well. Our bookseller partner, Sistah SciFi, stocked plenty of books in multiple genres, with an emphasis on science fiction and fantasy. Authors Diana Ma, David F. Walker, Brian W. and Josie A. Parker, and our own Nisi Shawl and K. Tempest Bradford were on hand for readings and conversations with young readers. We had volunteer help at the book fair from SMART Reading, a Portland nonprofit focused on reading aloud with children either one-on-one or in classrooms.
