Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival

Storytellers Unite: Meet the Authors of the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival

September 25, 2023 by Inside Press

By Mollie Roth

The upcoming Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival will be an opportunity for young readers and their parents to connect with the authors who make reading hour and bedtime come alive. Local librarians, educators, and volunteers have planned a fantastic event where children can come together with the authors that spark their imaginations.

Headlining the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival is Mary Pope Osborne, author of the beloved Magic Tree House series. Young and old, fans of Jack and Annie’s time-traveling and global-trotting adventures will have the opportunity to speak to Osborne about all their favorite stories, as well as learn about her newest books. Meeting authors like Osborne is an opportunity for children to form personal connections to books new or beloved. Chappaqua Librarian Theresa Bueti looks forward to seeing young people engage with books in a brand new way. When young patrons attend the festival, “they realize that people write books,” says Bueti, turning the solitary act of reading “real, vivid, and approachable.”

The students at Douglas Grafflin Elementary School are particularly excited to meet author Josh Funk. His book My Pet Feet won the 2023 Official March Book Madness Picture Book Bracket after being voted in by the Grafflin community and their nation-wide peers. Kaitlyn Lester, a library media specialist at Grafflin Elementary, says, “students are excited to meet [Funk], tell him how much we love My Pet Feet, and explore his other books that we are sure to love!”

Keep an eye out for Lauren Tarshis, author of the New York Times Bestselling series I Survived. Roaring Brook Elementary School’s Suzanne Stolzenberg and Andrea Schaber from West Orchard Elementary School say their students are very excited to meet the author of this disaster themed collection about children who survive a thrilling historical event. Coming to the festival shows children that “if they have something they want to say, they could write a book about it,” claims Bueti. In the aftermath of a global pandemic, perhaps Tarshis’ work will prove inspiration to young readers.

Many illustrators will also be in attendance at this year’s book festival. Head of children’s services at Chappaqua Library Robbin Friedman is particularly excited to meet Ruth Chan. “Her animal faces are so goofy, adorable, and expressive,” notes Friedman. “Everything about [Chan’s work] is weird and wonderful and exactly the right way.” Chan has a long career as an illustrator, as well as being the sole creator of books like Thank You, Neighbor! For children interested in creating and expressing themselves through art, meeting the illustrators at the festival should be a galvanizing and memorable experience.

There are seven scheduled readings throughout the festival day, where attendees can hear stories read by their authors. This is a wonderful chance for children to connect with their peers and the adults in their lives as they all encounter the same story at the same time. Author Raj Halder will be reading This Book is Banned, a picture book grappling with censorship in a delightfully silly and meaningful manner. However, the experience of being told a story is not limited to our yearly festival. Through the Chappaqua Library, anyone can rent the audiobooks of many books found at the festival. Many children’s authors read their books themselves, so children can have a little slice of the festival all year round.

The books mentioned are available for purchase at the festival, along with many other fascinating reads. However, finding new books does not have to be a once-a-year event. Stoever encourages “every child [to] find the librarians from the children’s room at the Chappaqua Public Library and speak to them.” The librarians are thrilled for this opportunity to further engage with the community, and recommend the book clubs and reading groups for anyone motivated by this year’s festival.

The Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival will take place on Saturday, September 30, 2023 at the Chappaqua Train Station, from 10am to 4pm. Along with the author and illustrators, there will be food trucks and a family fun zone. Admission is free, and livestream coverage of the event.  For regular updates, visit www.ccbfestival.org

Celebrating a Decade of the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival

August 18, 2023 by Robin Goetz

Once upon a time, there was a book festival that needed a new home. After searching every town, hamlet and village, a group of parents, librarians, businesses, town officials and more decided to give it a home in Chappaqua. They gave it lots of love and attention, and after 10 years, it grew to be one of the biggest and strongest in the country!

The moral of the story? It truly takes a village – a dedicated and powerful one – to connect authors and readers at this very special annual event: the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival.

The 2023 Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival

This year marks the 10th annual Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival (CCBF), where thousands of visitors from near and far descend on the town to enjoy a beautiful autumn day, meeting their favorite authors and enjoying all that Chappaqua has to offer.

The fun-filled day will include author readings, special presentations, illustrator demos, book sales and signings. Gourmet food trucks, a bubble bus, live entertainment, and activities provided by local merchants, organizations and sponsors lend to the energy, and excitement. The Family Fun Zone will feature giveaways, crafts, games and more. This year CCBF will launch an app, allowing festival goers to easily find books by author, subject, age and more.

As CCBF Executive Director Dawn Greenberg puts it, “Every year it feels like a family reunion, and the family keeps growing!”

The Festival gives kids and families a chance to meet and interact with the creators of their favorite characters – another highlight of the CCBF being the costumed characters who make appearances throughout the day for photos, hugs, and high-fives, truly bringing books to life.

As always, a percentage of the proceeds and tons of books will go to literacy programs to area schools in Westchester and the New York Metro area.

Welcoming The Magical Mary Pope Osborne

This year, the CCBF is overjoyed to welcome famed and beloved author Mary Pope Osbourne as the festival’s headliner. Best known as the author of the Magic Tree House series, which has sold over 200 million copies worldwide, Osborne is revered as an author but also as a fierce advocate for children’s literacy. Geared towards new readers, Osborne has written over 65 books in the last 30 years, and still at it. Her magical adventures transport readers to different times and places, each new adventure filled with imagination and learning.

Her biggest advice? “Remember who you were at 8, because you were right: The world is filled with wonder and magic, and you have a big role to play in it.”

Chappaqua will honor the magic of Osborne with treehouses and crafts throughout the town. A recent event at the Chappaqua library invited kids to create their own “magic treehouse” and the results were incredible! More events and tributes will take place leading up to the festival day.

Many other fan favorites, including Victoria Kann (Pinkalicious), Alyssa Capucilli and Pat Schories (Biscuit), Nick Bruel (Bad Kitty) and local authors including Barbara Dee, Matt and Mara Van Fleet, Hudson Warm, Jean Van Leeuwen, and Sujean Rim will return.

The Festival Grows Up

When it began in 2013, the CCBF was geared to young readers. The festival has grown, not just in numbers but in content. The day now includes many Young Adult authors and titles, as well as graphic novels and more of interest to older readers.

This year, in light of recent book bans, the festival will showcase banned books by CCBF authors in a thought-provoking special booth.

“It is our mission to represent ALL voices,” said Greenberg. “Books teach us everything – empathy, worldview, how to live in our own heads. They entertain but more important, they can transport us. What a gift! And we believe that no one should limit that access. I am proud that we are fighting back through the festival, and every day, to get books into as many kids’ hands as possible.”

A Community Comes Together

It is no easy task to make the CCBF happen, year after year. The festival is a grassroots, all-volunteer effort, with community members working together so that children and teens can be inspired by their favorite authors. The hard working CCBF Board invites authors, works to promote the festival, and handles all logistics for an event of this size and scale from ordering books to planning all events and setup.

Town officials and New Castle Police, Sanitation and more help make the day run smoothly. Authors travel from near and far to meet their biggest fans, and community sponsors, including businesses, restaurants, stores and more, provide critical funding. And then there are scores of volunteers – hundreds in fact – from individuals to families to groups who work tirelessly throughout the day, giving their time to make the event shine.

Though this story is certainly happy, this year, of course, is not “The End” for the CCBF – and it will be exciting to see the next chapter!

The Magic of Mary Pope Osborne: The Beginning of Our Love of Reading

April 24, 2023 by Lindsay and Gillian Hand

 

“The tree house started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still.”

Mary Pope Osborne’s timeless words are the start of a thrilling adventure. For countless children – including the two of us – these words were the entryway to the wonders of literature and a lifelong love of reading. And this year, book lovers of all ages will have the opportunity to meet Osborne herself at the Tenth Annual Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival on September 30, 2023.

The Magic Tree House books were a staple of our childhoods. We eagerly awaited the release of the latest book in the series and the thrill of exploring the Osborne display at the Roaring Brook School Scholastic Book Fair every year. Osborne’s stories not only took us on incredible adventures – from a 19th century twister in the United States to ancient Greece and beyond – but showed us what was possible in the world of books.

Words As a Window to the World

The Magic Tree House series launched our journey towards becoming voracious readers. For our young minds, it was incredible to travel to far-off places and times with our friends Annie and Jack–and learn a few things along the way. As noted by The New York Times in 2008, Osborne’s writing is simple and direct – modeled after Ernest Hemingway – and allows readers to lose themselves in a captivating exploration of time and space. With the intrepid siblings leading the way, young readers like us could travel to the ends of the earth, meet historical figures, and expand our minds and imaginations with each turn of a page.

Osborne’s work is as undeniably magical as Jack and Annie’s tree house, and its power grows from the author’s own philosophy that “writing is a miracle.” Her enduring success has been driven by her deep love for the craft and fundamental understanding of the magic that words can hold, especially for children. As her remarkable storytelling ability makes reading accessible for new readers, Osborne’s stories continue to touch the imaginations of so many, generation after generation.

Over 30 years after the first installment in the series, Dinosaurs Before Dark, was published, her astoundingly prolific career–as author of over 100 children’s and young adult books–continues to be bolstered by her deep commitment to literacy, getting books in the hands of underserved students, and speaking and meeting with her readers.

An Eagerly Awaited CCBF Debut

This year will mark the first time that Osborne joins thousands of readers and fans at the beloved Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival – ccbfestival.org – celebrating its tenth anniversary.

“I am so thrilled to be participating in the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival this year,” Osborne shared. “Books play such an important part in a child’s development, and the festival’s mission to connect kids with authors will do wonders for helping them develop a lifelong love for reading.”

We know that we are not the only ones who are excited for Osborne to be a part of this year’s CCBF, which did not exist when we were discovering the world of books. We have no doubt that we would have spent the entire day hitting every table, meeting our favorite authors – our heroes – and begging our parents to buy every book available for our shelves that had long since run out of room. CCBF is a Town gem, made all the more special by the participation of authors like Osborne whose work has been transformative for so many young readers. We are thrilled to witness Chappaqua’s commitment to fostering imagination in the next generation.

Though we 20-something sisters have grown up, graduated from college, and moved away to start our adult lives, we will remember and cherish Osborne’s world for the rest of our lives. It was a privilege to grow up alongside Annie and Jack, exploring the many faces of the world and its history through the worn, re-read pages of the Magic Tree House books. Though we may never journey through the Egyptian pyramids, walk on the moon, or fight alongside Washington in the Revolutionary War, the Magic Tree House will always be home to us.

“A Playground of Books” at the Ninth Annual Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival

October 18, 2022 by Alexa Troob

Save the Date for the 10th Annual Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival:  September 30, 2023

Chappaqua, NY— On Saturday, October 15, over 150 authors and thousands of visitors gathered at the Chappaqua Train Station over a shared love for literature.  And this year, the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival, which took place on a picture-perfect autumn day, may have been the largest one yet.

When asked to compare CCBF with other book festivals, author Valerie Bolling shared that “this is definitely the largest; they’re all wonderful, but this is definitely the premiere event.” Similarly, author Sheetal Sheth shared admiration for the festival’s environment and size, saying that CCBF was definitely “at the top.”

This year’s theme was “A Walk Through the Woods” inspired by Hudson Talbott’s poster art. The festival fostered a charming environment filled with gourmet food trucks, food from the Chappaqua Farmers Market, themed tables, and of course an abundance of kids eager to read their newly purchased books. 

Some acclaimed authors in attendance included Victoria Kann of the Pinkalicious series and Dan Gutman of The Genius File series, to name a couple. Authors were thrilled to showcase their work to encourage their love for reading.

Sheth’s highlight of the festival was “meeting kids who are like ‘That book is in my school!’ or ‘I read that in my class!’”

Similarly, author Kip Wilson shared that “just meeting teenagers who like historical fiction is really awesome.”

The authors at the event expressed their gratitude for people who approached them to show interest in their work. And this interaction was not only meaningful for the authors, but even more so for the kids as they were able to put a face to the name on the front cover of a book that they love. As a current high-school student, I remember how much I looked forward to a visiting author in middle and elementary school who talked about their books; I always rushed straight home to read their work. And for kids at the book festival, this magic was multiplied as they got to meet and converse with not just one author, but up to 150. 

This excitement amongst children at the book festival encourages them to value books and reading. A third-grade girl who attended the festival with her sister and mother said that she “like[s] walking around to see all of the books and then read them later.” Her mother shared that their family had been attending the festival ever since they moved to Chappaqua, returning each year because of all it offers. Getting kids excited about reading is vital, especially at a young age, and the book festival did exactly that.

 The CCBF offered a vast array of children and young adult books that spanned numerous genres, allowing everyone there to explore and discover. Sheth captured the event perfectly, calling it a “playground of books.” 

The ninth annual Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival was a soaring success. Amidst the sunny weather, delicious food, and diversity of books, everyone could be seen with a smile on their face, appreciating the strong sense of community and connectedness the event fostered. 

Editor’s Note:  The Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival is lead by its founder & executive director Dawn Evans Greenberg and her all volunteer team.  The Inside Press is proud to be an official sponsor of the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival.  Chappaqua and beyond are eagerly anticipating a milestone 10th year festival, set to take place on September 30, 2023!  – Grace

Jamie Dyce and Pajama Program will Link Stories and Sleep at the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival on October 15

September 28, 2022 by Dawn Evans Greenberg

Dawn Evans Greenberg, founder and director of the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival–being held this year on Saturday, October 15th–interviewed Jamie Dyce, whose family recently moved from Brooklyn to Chappaqua, about her much celebrated not for profit PAJAMA PROGRAM, which will have a booth at this year’s 9th annual festival!

Jamie Dyce, Executive Director, PAJAMA PROGRAM

Dawn: Tell us about Pajama Program and how the mission has evolved over the years.

Jamie: Pajama Program was established in 2001 by our Founder, Genevieve Piturro. While reading to children in shelters in New York City, Genevieve encountered many children who did not have pajamas. Determined to make change, she collected pajamas from her family and friends and delivered them to the children herself. Her initiative grew into a nationwide effort to provide pajamas to children who didn’t have them.

When we began, we had one main program which was to deliver new pajamas to as many children as possible. Eventually, books were incorporated into that program as well. Over time, our work has evolved because we’ve learned so much from our community partners (other nonprofits) about what the children in their care need when it comes to supporting them at bedtime. When I took on the role of Executive Director, our mission shifted. My vision was to create deeper sustainable impact for children by focusing on programming for the adults in their lives who are with them at bedtime. I thought about the adult caregivers, because children don’t put themselves to bed at night–an adult does that. What is this experience like for the adults? How can we help, and do so thoughtfully?

As it turns out, there is a lot we can do together. We still deliver new pajamas and books–which we know are great tools for a comforting bedtime routine. And I’m proud to say that in the last several years, our programs have expanded to include sleep health education for children, their parents, caregivers, and educators in an effort to ensure that children are fully supported at bedtime so that they can get the sleep they need to thrive the next day.

In the past year, despite challenges presented by the pandemic, we’ve provided 123,866 pajamas and 81,950 books to children. Through our sleep health education programs, we’ve reached more than 5,000 preschool children. In addition to reaching children, we support caregivers and parents, providing them with much-needed resources. In 2022, our training program was presented to nearly 900 parents and caregivers. We also operate two Centers; one in NYC and one in Atlanta, and a training facility, in Michigan. During the pandemic, we couldn’t offer in-person programming at our brick and mortar locations so we moved to a virtual format. Today, we are welcoming children and volunteers back to our Centers and we’ll continue to deliver programs virtually as well, reaching more children and adults around the country who otherwise wouldn’t have access to our in-person locations.

We view sleep as a human right and as a social justice issue. Sleep is as important as good nutrition and physical exercise. However, access to and awareness of the importance of sleep is not equitably distributed and can be impacted by a child’s circumstances. As we move forward, our goal is to reach more children facing adversity, particularly those children in Head Start programs, and advocate for them so that someday, every child has a Good Night for a Good Day.

Dawn:
How did you get involved?

Jamie: I was practicing law and actively volunteering at Pajama Program, bringing groups of my colleagues from the law firm to the NYC Center to share stories with children. I had also joined the board and was serving as Board chair. At the same time, I had been devoting more and more of my legal practice to pro bono representation of young girls and women who had survived commercial sexual exploitation (CSE). The average age a girl is first trafficked is 12 years old–a child. The population of children we aim to support at Pajama Program experience much of the same systemic inequities and challenges as the girls I worked with in my CSE practice; low family income, housing insecurity, family instability–all circumstances beyond their control.

My work for these two seemingly different nonprofit organizations was more aligned than I initially realized. I recognized the systemic inequalities impacting the lives of survivors of CSE and the young children who came to Pajama Program. I thought about what it meant to have a good night as a child, and why it matters. I considered the pajamas, the books, what we were learning from our community partners at Pajama Program, and how children who feel connected to someone just before they drift off to sleep, are likelier to sleep better and therefore be better equipped for what lies ahead the next day. I kept coming back to the same thought: kids just want to be kids, no matter their circumstances. And how it’s much harder for some, given the inequities of our world, and that the world I want to live in is one where no child is labeled by their circumstances; they’re simply free and equal. I came to the conclusion that children do not just deserve a good night for a good day, but they have an inherent RIGHT to a good night for a good day.

That’s when our Good Night Bill of Rights was born, and when our mission began to shift. It’s also around that time that our Founder began to pursue her new path as a motivational speaker and author, and she passed the baton to me. I have been leading the organization as Executive Director since 2017.

Dawn: What are some examples of how you operate in communities across the country?

Jamie: We use two approaches to achieve our mission with a focus on reaching children who are facing uncertainty in their lives. First, we deliver pajamas and books to children from birth through 12 by working with over 4,000 community-based organizations across the country. These include school-based programs, foster care agencies, and shelters. We also provide virtual and in-person sleep health education, reaching young children, parents, and educators with information and strategies to help make bedtime better. We offer workshops for parents, local programs for young children, and training for early care and education providers.

Dawn:
We’re excited you’ll participate in the CCBF.  What can families learn and do when they stop by your booth?

Jamie:
We look forward to participating in the CCBF! Children and families can stop by and learn about the READY® Bedtime routine and participate in one of our Storytime sessions. Our version of storytime includes not only a reading, but also a fun method to learn about bedtime routines in a way that engages young children. Joining us during our mid-day session will be one of our Good Night Advisory Council members, Dr. Rebecca Robbins. You may have seen Dr. Robbins on national television, including the Today Show, Good Morning America, and Live with Kelly and Ryan, talking about sleep health. She will be answering questions about children’s bedtime routines, and we encourage parents of children of all ages to join us for her talk!

We’ll have a limited supply of a special book authored by renowned author Tish Rabe for Pajama Program, all about bedtime routines. “Sweet Dreams Ahead, Time for Bed” will be available as a giveaway for the first 50 children to join our Storytime session. And children can say hello and take a photo with our life size teddy bear, Dreamer.

Dawn: Tell us about your family and your move to New Castle. What bedtime rituals do you do with your daughter? What are her favorite books?

Jamie: My husband Paul and I made the decision to leave Brooklyn during the pandemic. We are probably like a lot of other families who made a similar decision, and we were ready at the time, pandemic or not. We met later in our lives–though we likely crossed paths many times before we actually met. We shared a couple of mutual friends, had been to the same Pearl Jam concerts starting in 1996, and we even shared the same office building elevator bank at one point in our careers, but wouldn’t meet until much later, in 2017.

We started a family after we got married and our daughter Adriana brings us so much joy. The decision to move to New Castle was simple! When I describe our new life to friends, I tell them that it feels like we are someplace special, like a town you’d visit as an escape. It’s not your ordinary suburb, and I feel closer to my roots than I’ve felt in decades. I grew up in a closeknit community in the suburbs of Buffalo, and I didn’t realize how much I’d yearned for that for our family until we moved. I’ve fallen in love with the sense of community here. Our neighbors have been incredibly welcoming, and we try to explore the area as much as possible. Adriana is nearly 2 years old and seeing her grow up against the backdrop of Millwood and Chappaqua is more than I could ever ask for. She’s a huge fan of World Cup, the town playground near the train station, and of course, Gedney, near us in Millwood.

One big difference for us here when compared to Williamsburg is nighttime. It’s definitely much quieter, which took some getting used to. I love hearing the sounds of nature and being able to see the stars at night, which really add to the feel of a comforting bedtime routine when it’s time for Adriana to go to sleep. We have our bedtime ritual every night. It starts with a bath, brushing teeth, saying good night to her favorite stuffed animal friends and Daddy, and then we get to my favorite part–cuddling up together to read stories before a final kiss and lullaby good night. I am definitely not a singer, but I appreciate that Adriana is probably the only person in the world who finds comfort in my singing voice!

As for our favorite bedtime stories, it’s hard to narrow it down. Currently, she adores “Tuck Me In” by Dean Hacohen. As luck would have it, Dean will be at the Festival, so Adriana and I will be fangirling at his booth. She also loves her City Block book and anything featuring penguins, especially stories by Sandra Boynton.
