Join children’s authors Marie Louise Fitzpatrick and Michael Emberly for readings from their latest books. Owl Bat Bat Owl by Marie Louise Fitzpatrick is a gentle book and funny with it, but at its heart it’s about developing empathy. The little owls are motivated by fear and prejudice. Accepting the bat family onto their branch requires compromise and generosity, and at first the owls cannot rise to the occasion. Priscilla loves gorillas and she wants to be one. She dances like them, eats like them, and wears her gorilla costume 24–7! There are so many things to love about gorillas, but what Priscilla loves best is how they seem to always get their way. Expect a few surprises during this hour long workshop and be prepared to roll your sleeves up!
