Every year, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books becomes livelier and brighter due to the growing number of attendees. From book lovers, casual readers, and literary collectors to authors and publishers, people gathered to celebrate literacy.
The largest book festival in the US opened its doors last April for a glamorous two-day weekend celebration with the bookworms. Held at the University of Southern California, many book enthusiasts, book lovers, and book collectors, as well as writers, established authors, and many more, attended the free event.
A lot of bookfair-goers went by the Citi of Books booth to check for their next read and potential favorite book. One of the books that were chosen is “No No Nola Spicolla Goes to Foster Care” by Mary Hoglund. It was displayed on April 20th and 21st at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California.
A heartwarming story, “No No Nola Spicolla Goes to Foster Care,” follows a baby goat named Nola. Just like some children, Nola can’t live with her mom and goes to a foster family. This mirrors real-life situations where kids might need foster care due to problems at home.
The book assures children that it’s not their fault and that loving families can help until things get better. The author, who used to work with families in difficult situations, knows how important it is for children to understand what’s happening. Even though things are tough, Nola is a brave little goat who learns to trust and love her new family. The book’s beautiful pictures show the happiness Nola brings to them while she waits to go back home.
