HADDONFIELD, N.J. — In this week’s episode of What’s Good in South Jersey, host Isaiah Showell tells us about his visit to the first ever South Jersey Children’s Book Festival held at Haddonfield Middle School back in April.

Local children’s authors such as Lisa Jahn-Clough, Charity Herndon, and Cece Bell, along with local illustrators had the opportunity to meet one another and gave kids a chance to see that there are many children’s authors and illustrators right here in South Jersey.

Students from the Community Promise Academy in Salem helped with all the video taken for this episode.

It’s What’s Good in South Jersey this week. Watch below.
