Worlds of Words Presents Imagination Fridays

By Aika Adamson, Worlds of Words

Worlds of Words and the Tucson Festival of Books partnered to bring excitement and fun to children with our limited series, Imagination Friday. Each Friday at 1 p.m., an author or illustrator appears virtually to discuss their books live with children in classrooms and at home. These bestselling creators do a brief presentation, lead activities and answer questions. This weekly series runs from September through December 2020, and each session is recorded and posted online to be viewed again at a later time.

Signed copies of the books featured on Imagination Fridays can be ordered from UArizona BookStores. Continue reading →
