Watch Jonathan Auxier

Children’s author Jonathan Auxier will be presenting his new book, The Night Gardener, at Wordfest in October. If you, or your child, have not yet read either of Auxier’s novels, check out this book trailer for Peter Nimble and his Fantastic Eyes, featuring drawings by the author himself!

A growing trend in the literary world are book trailers. Much like movie trailers, book trailers are a short, promotional videos meant to tease readers into reading the advertised book. This mini-series of blog posts will look at several book trailers by authors who will be featured at this year’s Wordfest.

What do you think of book trailers? Do you like this growing trend? Would it make your child more likely to read a book? We want to know! Stayed tuned next week for the third part of this mini-series.
