As you know, the beloved free, fall Savannah Children’s Book Festival in Forsyth Park was cancelled this year after the City of Savannah revised their festival grant funding.

But Live Oak Public Libraries and Savannah Book Festival will present an alternative children’s event at the 2019 Savannah Book Festival on Sun. Feb. 17 at 1PM in Reynolds Square. The SBF Children’s Tent, which will feature author appearances, activities and book-signings, will be sponsored by Live Oak Public Libraries and Live Oak Public Libraries Foundation.

While SouthernMamas.com appreciates this children’s tent with author visits, we hope the original, full, one-day Savannah Children’s Book Festival will return to Forsyth Park in Fall 2019.

“We are excited to host the SBF Children’s Tent this year,” said Savannah Book Festival Board President Beau Anders. “We strongly believe in the importance of the event for the library and literacy in our community.” Anders said that SBF was looking forward to collaborating with LOPL in February as both organizations are committed to promoting reading for all ages in the community.

“It is with great excitement that Live Oak Public Libraries, with the generous support of the Library Foundation, will be partnering with the Savannah Book Festival to incorporate a children’s event in February of 2019,” stated Charlotte Welch, Chair, Regional Board of Library Trustees. “The event will continue the Library’s goal of promoting children’s literacy in our communities and we look forward to our joint venture with this popular and educational festival.”

Featured authors scheduled to appear in the SBF Children’s Tent are:
Kwame Alexander, Newbery Medal winner
Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes, New York Times Best Sellers
Michael Patrick O’Neill, World Press Photo award-winning wildlife photographer
Javaka Steptoe, Caldecott Medal winner

Additional activities include book-signings, celebrity storytimes, music, and arts and crafts for kids. The SBF Children’s Tent is free and open to the public.

Your kids can become a Junior Ranger 

Take advantage of the fact that we live within a day’s drive of multiple national parks & monuments & have your kids become a junior ranger at one or many of these sites.

When you take kids to tour national parks, you never know how much they are getting out of the visit. Especially for those of us moms who aren’t exactly history experts.

Which is why you need to pick up the Junior Ranger booklets at the visitor centers of national parks you visit. The Junior Ranger program kids engage more during the visits.

Junior Ranger booklets have activities about the national parks for ages 5-12. Junior ranger books are free to any visitor and usually are available at the visitors’ centers. Often, similar programs with more advanced activities are also available for older kids. Just ask at the site’s visitor center.

While doing the activities, children enjoy earning a badge and a certificate.

Nearby national parks/monuments that have Junior Ranger programs include:
*Fort Pulaski National Monument, on U.S. 80 en route to Tybee Island. Info on the Fort Pulaski Junior Program here.
*Fort Sumter & Fort Moultrie national monuments, Charleston, S.C. Info on these forts Junior Ranger program here.

Disney On Ice presents Worlds of Enchantment!  is a celebration of childhood set to song.

The two-hour ice show featuring Frozen, Cars, Toy Story & The Little Mermaid is @ the Savannah Civic Center this week October 24-29, 2018. We caught opening night & savored the show.

Your kids will love Woody, Jessie, Buzz Lightyear, Ariel, Sebastian, Anna, Elsa, Olaf &, of course, Mickey, Minnie.

You, however, will appreciate the snow falling in the civic center rafters during Frozen & the bubbles floating down during Little Mermaid, Elsa’s elegant skating & the fact that Ham (Toy Story) can skate at all. You’ll wonder how Lightning McQueen, Mater & Sally glide on the ice.

You’ll appreciate the fact that Ken (Toy Story) wears an ascot & docksider-skates. You’ll groove in your seat to the pop tunes during the Toy Story segment. And you may just choke up a bit when four costume-clad kids from the audience get to glide around in a little boat on the ice during ‘Under the Sea.’ You may just cry outright at the very sight of all the little wide-eyed princesses and Olafs in the audience.

In the end, your kids’ favorite Disney characters gliding and pivoting on ice will serve as a reminder to relish all that is your kids’ childhood.
