Aventura Mall and The Miami-Dade Family Learning Partnership have teamed up for the second year to host The Book Shop, Saturday, August 16 from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., located in the mall’s Center Court.

This exciting book fair event will feature a wide selection of award-winning books for all ages, including New York Times Best- Sellers for adults.

A special appearance and book signing by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and columnist Dave Barry will highlight the day with his humor and power of words.

Barry won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary and has written more than 30 books, including novels “Big Trouble,” “Lunatics,” “Tricky Business” and most recently, “Insane City.” He also has co-authored a bestselling children’s series “Peter and the Starcatchers.” Two of Barry’s books were the basis for the CBS sitcom Dave’s World.

The Book Shop will entertain the whole family with beloved special characters Pete the Cat and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, along with a live performance of Little Red Riding Hood.

All proceeds of The Book Shop will benefit The Miami-Dade Family Learning Partnership, a non-profit organization that collaborates with community agencies and institutions to improve child and family well-being and community literacy programs.
