Children 14 and under will receive a voucher to select a book from a participating author to take home for free. The Kentucky Book Festival is not just an event; it’s a celebration of stories, imagination, and the joy of reading. Don’t miss out on this literary adventure!” (quotes from Kentucky Book Festival website)***********************. Elizabeth will be signing her enchanting picture book, A Glowhearts’ Christmas Tale. Here stories are committed to faith, love, and kindness, and delightfully illustrated by Karine Makartichan, whose colorful work has been exhibited around the world, A Glowhearts’ Christmas Tale will bring joy, hope, and inspiration to children and adults of all ages. This Christmas, Gemma will have the biggest adventure of her young life! She gets to help tend Santa’s reindeer while he flies around the world delivering gifts and spreading love. But she must beware of the evil Stonegar, who gnome-naps Glowhearts, steals their joy, and turns them into statues.

Can Gemma and her pet reindeer, Ollie, help the other Glowhearts and Santa spread Christmas cheer throughout the land, true to their higher calling—”be kind, do good, and let their heart lights shine?” Or will the menacing Stonegar foil their plans and dim their hope and their heart lights? ********””There will be plenty of fun for the whole family including many kid’s activities like Story Time and some very special guests.”
