This coming weekend, the good folk at the University of Texas at Austin host what is billed as the "biggest open house in Texas."
 
Explore UT is a day of events, exploration, exhibits and interaction all across campus, for kids of all ages. This is the tenth anniversary of the event and, as is typical of Texas, it’s a big ol’ deal. Kids get to design bridges, pan for gold, dance the salsa and merengue, and much, much more. 

And this year, for the first time, I’ve been invited to participate — by giving a reading at the Perry-Castenada Library on campus. I’ll be joining other local children’s authors Chris Barton, Brian Anderson and Jane Peddicord and if ya’ll are in the area you should bring your little ones and come on out!
