The spark for San Diego's annual Children's Book Party came from a man who did not discover his love for reading until later in life
Hundreds of youngsters and their families from across San Diego are counting the days until the annual Children's Book Party on April 27 at Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park. The pavilion will be filled with books — thousands of them. The spark for the book party came from a man who did not discover his love for reading until later in life, but wanted children to have the chance to develop a love for reading early on.
' The Book Party outgrew the Brown's backyard within a few years and moved to the Educational Cultural Complex in San Diego, which it outgrew several years later when it moved to Balboa Park. 'The book party grew from that simple beginning, sparked by my dad's passion to share his love of reading, to a grander scale, but the goal has always been the same: to encourage reading and open up a world of possibilities for kids,' JaBari Brown said.
