Join the us for a special Holiday Story Time with two fabulous authors and one fantastic illustrator! Cynthia Platt, Vivian Kirkfield, and Jill Weber will all be in the store sharing their new holiday books.
Cynthia will share her newest picture book Santa in Disguise, ilustrated by Josh Cleland. A fun Christmas installment in the hilarious Holidays In Disguise series where Santa Claus needs to go incognito in order to get his own Christmas shopping done before he hits the sleigh to deliver presents on Christmas Eve! Who’s that old man browsing around the stores? A snowman? A skier? A hippie grandpa? Is it… Santa Claus? Can a group of clever kids help Santa with his holiday shopping and keep him on track to deliver presents in time for Christmas? A funny read-aloud tale for the family on Christmas Eve.
Vivian and Jill will be sharing their newest book, Pippa's Hanukkah Hunt. Join Pippa's generous friends and neighbors as they come together as a community in this joyful companion to Pippa's Passover Plate. Filled with rhymes and repetition, this is a perfect title to share and read aloud as you celebrate your own Hanukkah festivities! Pippa loves everything about her Hanukkah latkes—making them; eating them; and most of all, sharing them! But when her ingredients go missing, Pippa's dinner guests become Hanukkah helpers as she searches the whimsical winter landscape.
