Reading is more fun here at The Happy Black Parent Children’s Book Festival! 

Did you know that reading to your children is essential in their development? It helps support their language development by introducing them to fresh vocabulary and linguistic conventions. Additionally, it aids in their acquisition of worldly knowledge, which makes it simpler for kids to pick up new subjects at school. 

If you’re looking for a great way to bond with your children whilst boosting their knowledge, look no further – The Happy Black Parent’s 2nd Annual Children’s Book Festival is here! Happening on July 22, 2023, from 12:00 NN to 5:00 PM at the Pittsburgh Yards, the free outdoor festival is a perfect opportunity to celebrate your favorite children’s books. You can also listen to stories, watch fun performances, and meet local authors!

• Danielle Green
