The Children’s Literature Festival is an annual event hosted by Truman State University where both grade schoolers and notable authors of children’s literature get the chance to interact. Local classes of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders are often the main attendees, but adults are also invited to come and hear the presentations prepared by selected authors.
