Author Storytime with Lauren Briére

Incredible author/illustrator Lauren Briére joins us for a storytime event! Lauren will read her picture book Alphabot Adventures, a whimsical adventure full of funny, alliterative phrases and lush, richly textured watercolor illustrations that will spark early readers' imaginations. Following storytime, Lauren will answer questions and sign books!

This event is free, but we ask that all guests RSVP as space is limited.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Do robots dream of strumming uplifting tunes on ukuleles under the moonlight? Or perhaps they wonder at the world while wandering woodlands? You bet they do!
Join a crew of whimsical robot friends as they float and fly through the alphabet on their magical adventures. Featuring alliterative sentences like “H Bot is happiest when hiking” and “M Bot makes magical music in the moonlight,” this alphabet book uses humor and wordplay to bring each letter to life.
Talented illustrator Lauren Briére imagined this cast of robots with creative designs to match each letter theme, like Archer bots with amazingly abysmal aim and Quirky quarterback bots dressed for the field. Her richly detailed ink and watercolor scenes amidst lush landscapes and clouds will capture the imaginations of both kids and adults. This sweet, silly book makes a wonderful read-aloud to foster a love of language and literacy.
