"Beega Gets a Do-Over" Book Party

Join us for a story time and Q&A with the authors of Beega Gets a Do-Over, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and Joy Eggerichs Reed. There will also be coloring pages, tips for parents to show kids to story tell, and other fun activities.

About the Book: Beega Gets a Do-Over introduces children to the whimsical Land of Nuf, a place where slides replace stairs, swimming pools are filled with marshmallows, and email was outlawed in 2007. Readers follow the adventures of three "Gigglies" named Beega, Dooga, and Tiny. Through their interactions, children learn valuable lessons about relationships and interpersonal dynamics. When Beega speaks carelessly and hurts his little sister Tiny, his best friend Dooga steps in to help him start the day over in a creative way.
