Just in time for Halloween, join us for a special children’s book event featuring Frankenwalnut, a funny and heartfelt story by Ann Arbor authors Don Hicks and Alex Hicks about bullying, friendship, and finding the courage to be yourself.
When Frankenwalnut discovers that being different can make you a target, he learns that standing up to bullying—and standing up for others—can be more powerful than being the biggest, loudest, or scariest monster around.
Come meet the authors, hear the story behind Frankenwalnut, and celebrate a book with an important message wrapped up in plenty of Halloween fun. Expect laughs, a little spookiness, and lots of feel good moments! This event is perfect for young readers, families, and anyone who knows that the best monsters have the biggest hearts. Each ticket includes a copy of the book, delicious snacks, and proceeds will be donated to Mott’s Children’s Hospital and The Trevor Project. The authors will also match the donations!
Come for the Frankenwalnut. Stay for the message: there’s no such thing as too different to belong.
