Join us for a Saturday Story Time LAUNCH event with local author Maria Gianferrari and illustrator Hannah Salyer! We'll be celebrating their new picture book, Rain and the Reading Horse, a gentle, gorgeously illustrated meditation on the healing power of our relationship with animals and overcoming our fears.
