Special Storytime Event!
New York Times Best-Selling Children's Picture Book Illustrator Brian Lies & author I.C. Springman talk about their new picture book MORE
When is more too much? More is a gorgeous, yet subtle story about overconsumption. A magpie, given a marble by a mouse friend, discovers a joy in collecting things. First a Lego brick, then a coin, some keys . . . and soon nothing turns into plenty, which in short order turns into much too much and magpie’s friends are staging an intervention.
Brian Lies has a devoted fan base of librarians, booksellers, parents, and of course children. His beloved bat books (Bats at the Beach, Bats at the Library, and Bats at the Ballgame) have secured his place as one of today’s most well-regarded picture book creators.
Recommended age: 5-8 years
I.C. Springman has published short stories in various literary magazines. This is Springman's first children's book.
Start: 6:30 pm
