Storyteller returns with a magical North Pole tale of teamwork and joy
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books returns to the University of Southern California campus on April 18–19, 2026, continuing its legacy as one of the nation’s most celebrated literary gatherings. Guided by this year’s theme, “Many stories. One weekend.”, the festival honors diversity in literature and welcomes stories that inspire imagination, cultural exchange, and joyful discovery.
As one of the official exhibitors at the 2026 festival, MainSpring Books will take part in this vibrant celebration of storytelling. Among the featured participants at Booth #967 is Dr. Barbara ten Brink, a VIP author, who will appear for a special book signing and professionally recorded interview.
In Miss Claus and Her Pandas, Dr. ten Brink returns readers to the North Pole in a heartwarming Christmas tale filled with charm, cooperation, and cultural friendship. As the spokesperson for the Magical Bunnies, Miss Elizabeth Claus must address their request for recognition in preparing Santa for his annual toy delivery. At the same time, the Pandas—serving as ambassadors from China—bring a global spirit of unity and collaboration to the North Pole.
Blending holiday tradition with themes of teamwork, leadership, and respectful dialogue, this delightful children’s story encourages young readers to listen, collaborate, and celebrate each individual’s unique talents. As the second installment following Miss Claus and Her Bunnies, the book continues Dr. ten Brink’s imaginative storytelling that families can treasure year after year.
Festival attendees are invited to visit Booth #967 to meet Dr. Barbara ten Brink and receive a signed copy of her enchanting holiday book.
