About this Event

Booked is partnering with Art Makers Outpost to celebrate Lucy Knisley's newest picture book, Searching for Wocks!

Join us for storytime with Lucy, rock painting, and the inaugural installation of the Temporary Wocks Museum!

You can BYOW (bring your own wock) to display in the museum! All wocks will return to wock collectors after being displayed, along with their museum placard. We will also have an Adopt-a-Wock box for anyone who needs a new wock.

The event is free, but if you preorder the book you'll get EXCLUSIVE wocks washi tape, designed by Lucy!

Join us to celebrate all things wocky and wonderful on June 20!

About Searching for Wocks:

There are always precious objects to be found if you look, as the young child in this endearing, funny picture book knows. It's a portrait of youthful enthusiasm and the beauty of the everyday, created by a beloved, New York Times bestselling graphic novelist.

On a walk to the playground and back, a child keeps their eyes open for special "wocks" for their collection. A bottlecap, a twig, and many stones make it into their pocket of treasures. It's a charming and relatable day in the life of a preschooler, illustrated in bright, happy artwork and jaunty dialogue-a book that all young collectors will adore.
