 Welcome to the 2024 Ohioana Book Festival. I'm Doug Dangler, and I'm pleased to welcome you to the panel called Comics for Kids. I am pleased to welcome our authors, Annie Hunter Erickson and Wes Smolbash. So, welcome. Annie Hunter Erickson graduated from the College of Worcester in 2013 and claims she, quote, fell in love with this town whose number of livestock rivals that of its human population.
