Start your Bay Area Book Festival weekend with coffee, conversation, and community! Join Bay Area co-ambassador Nikoo Yahyazadeh, fellow writers, and readers at My Coffee Roastery at 9:30 am before heading over to the festival together for lively author panels, book signings, and readings.

And if you’re planning your festival schedule, you’re invited to join attend Nikoo’s panel, Shells, Lions, and Pomegranate Trees: Picture Books Approaching Difficult Topics, at 11:45 am at the Berkeley Public Library Community Room. You’re welcome to include info about your own tables, readings, or other Bay Area Book Festival events in your RSVP.  ☕📚✨
