Award-winning children’s book author/illustrator Allen Say (pictured) discussed and signed copies of his graphic novel “The Inker’s Shadow,” which recounts his days at a military academy. Other participants included Balloon Monsoon, Kidding Around the Kitchen, author Kieren van den Blink (“Yum”), Kitchen Kid, and Hope Gardens. This month’s event had a green/sustainability theme.
