THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 11 AM -- STORY HOUR WITH THE AUTHOR, LIZ STARIN
Join us for a particularly rollicking story hour with Brooklyn-based picture-book writer and illustrator Liz Starin, who is in town with her new book, SPLASHDANCE. Publisher's Weekly has named SPLASHDANCE a "Best Summer Book" for 2016, and young audiences will delight in its sweet and quirky illustrations. Liz's husband will be accompanying her on guitar for a special musical reading. Story Hour is free and open to all ages! We will also have Liz's fabulous previous book, ROAR!, on hand, too. RSVPs encouraged -- please call 985-3999 or email flyingpigbooks@gmail.com.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 11 AM -- MEET THE AUTHOR, KARA LAREAU
Meet the spectacular Kara LaReau, author of the new chapter book, THE INFAMOUS RATSOS -- a funny, sensitive new book targeting young readers aged 5-9. In her own words, LaReau's THE INFAMOUS RATSOS "is a book about how even the 'toughest' among us has the capacity to be nice, and thoughtful, and generous, and helpful." A perfect message for elementary-aged readers!
LaReau is the author of 8 books for children, and THE INFAMOUS RATSOS "entertains and uplifts" says Sada Mozer from the Los Angeles Public Library. Come join us to celebrate RATSOS release with a reading, a signing, and some "HANG TOUGH" [temporary] tattoos! Woohoo! RSVPs encouraged -- please call 985-3999 or email flyingpigbooks@gmail.com.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 11 AM -- LAUNCH PARTY FOR LIZA WOODRUFF’S “EMERSON BARKS”
Vermont’s very own Liza Woodruff has illustrated over twenty beloved books for young readers, including “If It’s Snowy and You Know It, Clap Your Paws” by Kim Norman and “The Biggest Pumpkin Ever” by Elizabeth Bennett. We are thrilled to be celebrating the launch of Liza’s new book -- EMERSON BARKS -- which is the first book she has both written and illustrated! It is a fabulous book and is getting great reviews! Help us eat cake, congratulate Liza, and read about Emerson’s attempts to stay quiet. This event is perfect for kids ages 2-7. Come join us! RSVPs encouraged -- please call 985-3999 or email flyingpigbooks@gmail.com.
