On February 4 the Bookworm Book Festival returned to in-person programming for the first time since the pandemic, taking place at the M.O. Campbell Education Center in Houston, Tex. The free bilingual festival featured author panels and book signings celebrating literature for young readers in Spanish and English. We’ve gathered a selection of photos from the event.
