Most Sundays, if you stop by BookCourt in the morning you can catch a great reading from a new kids’ book by the author. This Sunday, May 16, there are TWO wonderful author events!
At 11am Darren Farrell will be joining us to read from his first book, Doug-Dennis and the Flyaway Fib, about a sheep, an elephant, their trip to the circus, and what happens when you tell a lie. Farrell’s quirky illustrations perfectly compliment the sometimes silly story with a valuable moral. Perfect for kids 3 to 8, great for everyone else too.
Then, at 1pm we’re celebrating the release of a new book by Cathleen Davitt Bell (Slipping). Little Blog on the Prairie is the story of Gen, whose mother thinks that Frontier Camp is a great idea for a family vacation. Gen disagrees. She does manage to sneak around one of the Live Every Day Like It’s 1890 rules, though: she sneaks in a cell phone so she can text her best friend to fill her in on grueling life on “Little Hell on the Prairie.” The book is perfect for fans of young adult fiction and the book release party is open to everyone. Join us for drinks, snacks, and maybe some bonnet-wearing!
Both events are free, open to everyone, and no RSVP is required. See you this Sunday!
