The value of a book cannot be counted in dollars and sense, but in what the reader gets out of it. A good book treats a person in a variety of ways from a new reader just learning her alphabet to understanding details about a famous person through a biography. With a great book of fiction one can lose oneself in the midst of an unfolding story. Books carry information, intent, and knowledge.
The holidays are in the air and there is celebration going on all around us. The Indiana Historical Society becomes a large part of the festivities with their annual Holiday Author Fair. It is held at the Indiana Historical Society every December and offers the opportunity for people to meet over 60 authors and see the new books they have released in addition to some of the older ones. Though the fair takes place in Indiana with Indiana purposed throughout, the books reach beyond the state’s borders.
Let’s view a few of the authors who attended the Holiday Author Fair. They are pictured with the books that Cardinal Publishers Group distributes.
Adriane Doherty is the author of over 15 children’s books. With several learning series, from her My First Alphabet Book series, to the Sweet Dream series, to the Come Learn with Me series. A perfect pick for learning little ones. Rubber Ducky Press publishes these books. On each spread, there is a little yellow ducky hidden for children to find.
Here she is holding Sweet Dreams Indiana.
