This year’s BookStock will feature a lively parade at 12:30 p.m. for children in Kindergarten to 6^th grade. It is inspired by Wild Symphony by Dan Brown, bringing Maestro Mouse to life as he leads audiences through meaningful life lessons paired with the vibrant sounds of the animal kingdom.

Kids are encouraged to wear costumes and bring their imagination. There will be “three prize winners with the best interpretation of the book receiving a $100 gift card to Shindig,” said the press release.
