The event is organized by KWE Publishing in collaboration with Morgan James Publishing with a focus on children’s health issues.
“In the pages of a book, we find the building blocks of imagination, the keys to knowledge, and the threads of connection that weave vibrant communities together,” says Kim Wells Eley, CEO of KWE Publishing and the founder of the event. “When we gather to discuss children’s health issues, and learn and engage through books, we find the true wealth of a community.”
Some of the critical topics covered include:
– Early-onset hearing loss
– Importance of early eye health checks
– Diabetes
– Autism
– Congenital heart disease
– Children born prematurely
– Heart health
– Mental health
– Disabilities

2. Introduce the Charlottesville community to vital health topics through speaker presentations and displays, covering subjects such as autism, diabetes, food allergies, and more.
3. Familiarize parents with children’s books, written materials, and ways the community can support them.
