Janice Bangs reads from her children's book Mama Duck's Lost Duckling: with one duckling missing as her eggs hatch, Mama Duck searches the wetlands, sitting on every egg she finds and learning that "not every egg holds what she’s looking for." Bangs spent 30 years in television producing and hosting segments, and her books blend humor with real science, each with Bonus Discovery Pages.
Sat Nov 7 · 10:00am
Children's author Ellen Mayer reads from Flutter, Flap, Fly, Cake Day and Yellow, Red, Green — Go with banjo player Malcolm Pittman accompanying. The shop is explicit that the children are expected to sing along rather than sit and listen, so it runs closer to a singalong than a reading.
Sat Nov 7 · 4:00pm
Anna Housley Juster reads How to Train Your Amygdala and The Best Good Thing: Discovering Joy on a Very Bad, Smad Day. She is a licensed child and adolescent mental health clinician who began as a Head Start teacher and has spent twenty-five years in curriculum development and family support.
