A Q&A and book signing follow, and guests should bring their own books, since none will be sold. Both sessions are already sold out, so this is only worth noting for families already registered. ## Similar picks in Baltimore - [Howard County Native American Heritage Month Celebration](https://grassyknees.com/baltimore/activities/howard-county-native-american-heritage-month-celebration--listing-b8ce2faec7fa227ebd567d34) — Sat, Nov 7 · 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM · Harriet Tubman Cultural Center, Columbia · checked Oct 16.
