Author Day and Children’s Author Festival in Huntington Beach

Sarah M. Chen

What a fantastic day! I had so much fun participating in Author Day at Hope View Elementary School. Look what I was greeted with first thing:

The students made me an awesome banner! I love it!

I talked about being a writer and things I wish I knew before I started writing. The kids were funny, smart, and so sweet. I had such a blast! Each class received their own pet Superbeetle.

Then it was the Children’s Author Festival in the afternoon at the Huntington Beach Public Library.

It was great to meet other children’s authors, like Caroline Hatton. Her books are gorgeously illustrated and she has a beetle book too!

Thank you, Friends of the Children’s Huntington Beach Public Library and Hope View Elementary School! What a great day!

Huntington Beach Authors Festival

Sarah M. Chen

I’m so excited to participate in my first Children’s Author Festival on January 30th! It’s at the Huntington Beach Library from 2:30 to 5pm and there will be lots of children’s authors and illustrators selling books and giving away fun swag. I’ll have SUPERBEETLE coloring pages like this one:


I’ll also have my first school visit on the morning of January 30th at Hope View Elementary School in Huntington Beach! I’m so excited to talk to grades K – 3 on what it’s like to be an author and how they can write their own stories. I’ll also be selling copies of Superbeetle as well as giving each classroom their own Superbeetle!
