@ Little Book House

We all have a little anxiety and worry, but what is the son of the meanest, badest dinosaur to do when it gets the best of him?

Can a young boy find fire for his family—and bring it safely home? An exciting, nearly wordless picture book adventure as visually compelling as a Pixar short.

The Capital Region’s premier independent children’s book store will graciously host the release of the second book in the series: “Parmesan Pig Saw What Was Needed.”

Celebrate the new school year and stop by with young ones in your circles. Grab a copy and have it personally signed by the author. Both book 1 and book 2 will be readily available.

ADDITIONALLY - Half of all proceeds will be donated to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), to support young type-1 diabetic children.

Description

The inspiring biography of Ghanaian artist El Anatsui whose handmade sculptures, created from discarded bottle tops, have received international acclaim and been showcased around the world.

If you touch something, you leave a charge on it and anybody else touching it connects with you, in a way. -- El Anatsui

SHIMMER'S EGGS: 

Eleven-year-old Luke longs for an adventure to escape being sick in the hospital. As a medieval princess and her dragon come to life from his jigsaw puzzle, he doesn’t know what to believe. When she grants him and his little brother, Peter, a wish in exchange for help, they can’t afford to say no.

No, Go, and Tell! by local author, Marilyn Pittelli, addresses the difficult topic of sexual abuse prevention for five to nine year olds.  It helps children to distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate touch and to become more comfortable with protecting themselves and reporting abusive behaviors.

Local artist and children's book author/illustrator Elizabeth Zunon reads and signs her latest illustrated books, BEDTIME FOR SWEET CREATURES (Nikki Grimes) and AS BIG AS THE SKY (Caroline Rose). It's always a treat when Liz comes to visit!
