Wild Rumpus is thrilled to welcome MEGAN MAYNOR to the bookstore in celebration of her newest picture book, 'It's Taco Knight'! To make the event event more special, we've invited the Fiesta Mexicana Food Truck, and they'll be slinging some tasty tacos and Mexican food between 11AM-1PM! (They're our owner Jess' family from Red Wing, MN!)
Join us for a story, fun activity, and tacos, if you like!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
In this hilarious picture book about teamwork and accountability for fans of Dragons Love Tacos and the Food Group books, a lovable but self-absorbed knight tries to turn every night into Taco Night, to his entire village's dismay.
In a kingdom full of busy, clever people, no one has time to cook. Luckily the Knights of Dinner make sure the villagers are well fed. It could be Pizza Knight or Noodle Knight, Dumpling Knight, even New Recipe Knight! No knight is everybody’s favorite, but every knight is somebody’s favorite. That is . . . until Taco Knight comes to town—and tries to turn every night into taco night.
Brimming with wacky humor and action, It’s Taco Knight! celebrates friendship and empathy and reminds us that variety is the spice of life.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Megan Maynor is a Minnesota Book Award Finalist and the author of eight picture books, including her most recent, 'It’s Taco Knight!' Her books have been recognized with a Junior Library Guild Selection and Minnesota Star of the North Picture Book Awards nomination. When not writing, she enjoys sharing stories with kids and families at school and library events, as well as teaching picture book writing to adults. When not doing any of that, she enjoys making banana bread and taking pictures of animals she sees at her neighborhood lake. She never does anything with these photos. But they’re fun to take.
TO ATTEND:
This event is free and open to the public. Seating will be available on a first-come first-served basis.
SIGNING GUIDELINES:
Following the event, Megan will be available to sign copies of her book. If you are unable to attend but would still like a signed copy, you may order a copy from this page and we will ship after the event, or hold it behind the counter for local pickup. Please note in your order any personalization requests and we will do our best to accommodate. Orders must be placed by 5 p.m. on Friday, September 12th to guarantee signed copies.
