For the Kids: Storybook Village

Storybook Village, a staple of Children’s Week Florida, began in 2015 and we are excited to keep the annual tradition alive! Over the years, attendees have toured Storybook Village to hear stories read by local authors, see story performances and productions, and even experience stories through music. Thanks to the generous support of FINACIOUS Visionary Consulting + Solutions, Children’s Forum, along with other amazing partners and volunteers, this literacy-focused activity has given away thousands of free books over the years and will continue giving books to children of all ages.

We are hopeful and enthusiastic to bring this year’s Storybook Village in a reduced capacity to you in a safe and family-friendly way at the Word of South Festival in Cascades Park in Tallahassee, FL on Saturday, April 10, 2021 from 12-3 p.m. More information and details on how to attend coming soon.

*NOTE: All in-person events or large gatherings are contingent upon COVID-19 pandemic health and safety guidelines at the time of the Children’s Week Florida event

Word of South is proud to feature authors Ron Sachs and Gay Webster-Sachs as they talk about their new book The Secret in the Clouds.

Young Actors Theatre will present scenes from Crossing Jordan, an adaptation of the award-winning book by local author Adrian Fogelin. Set in Tallahassee, the story addresses racial prejudice and acts as a poignant reminder that fences too often separate us from one another.
