Celebrate Black Children’s Book Week with Read 2 Succeed Asheville/Buncombe!

Join us on Thursday, February 26, 2026, from 6:00–7:30 PM at the PVA Community Center (1 Granada St., Asheville) for a free, family-friendly celebration filled with stories, play, and community connection.

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Khalyn J. Solomon, pediatric speech-language pathologist and author of My Superhero Aurie, for a special author storytime celebrating friendship, neurodiversity, and the strengths that make every child shine.

Families can enjoy interactive literacy games, reading activities with prizes, face painting, a live DJ, and “breakfast for dinner” with a cereal bar from Chill Cereal Bar. The first 50 families will receive a free signed copy of My Superhero Aurie along with family reading resources.

Come celebrate Black Children’s Book Week with joy, creativity, and a love of reading—everyone is welcome!
