Yes, signed books are a thing to treasure. They inspire children and make reading exciting. And how cool is that to read a book with a special dedication for you?
Book sales are an essential part of authors’ and illustrators' income and allow them to continue creating more books. There should always be books available at an author/illustrator event!
You can arrange the books through a bookseller of your preference or set up a pre-order system. Fabi can help you with this. -

Half-day: 30 min assembly + two sessions
