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!
