As we count down to Scottsdale Book Festival 2026, now just 12 days away, we want to pause and say thank you to the sponsors helping make this free, family-friendly literary celebration possible.
Each of our festival sponsors plays a unique role in supporting literacy, creativity, and community connection. From inspiring young readers and uplifting diverse voices to creating welcoming spaces where stories can be enjoyed together, their support helps shape the experience our attendees will enjoy on January 24.
A joyful picture-book world built on music, friendship, and imagination, Tubba and Friends invites young readers to explore big ideas through kindness, creativity, and adventure. Created by author and illustrator Michael Ivery, this growing world centers around Tubba Bear — a curious explorer with a pink guitar — and her friends in Harmony Ridge, where every story celebrates connection and curiosity.
As a sponsor of the Scottsdale Book Festival, Tubba and Friends helps champion early literacy and imaginative storytelling, reminding us that the love of reading often begins with a single story shared together.
