Faces from the fest

Peter Yarrow, of Peter, Paul and Mary fame, stops off in the media room to give a hug Saturday at the L.A. Times Festival of Books before performing on the Etc. Stage later in the day.

 

 

Below: Children's book author David Shannon ("Too Many Toys") takes his cue from the audience at the Children's Stage to come up with an impromptu illustration.

 

Kids watch the illustration take shape.

Megan McDonald, author of the "Judy Moody" and "Stink" series, was signing books. But it's hard to have your photo taken with a hard-working author.

 

Hey, where did that TV with rabbit ears come from? Dave Shannon finishes his masterpiece.
