We’re thrilled to celebrate the picture book release of A CENTURY FOR CAROLINE on Saturday, November 8! Readers are invited to bring their special elders to this multigenerational storytime, featuring a reading and book signing by the author, Kaija Langley.
ABOUT ‘A CENTURY FOR CAROLINE’
Baby girl Jasmine heads south with her dad to join the family in celebrating Great Grandma Caroline’s 100th birthday. Jasmine knows one hundred years is a very long time. It’s longer than a goldfish lives, or a hamster—or even a dog! When she gets to Great Grandma Caroline’s house, she asks: how did she get to be so old?
According to Caroline, living such a long, hearty life takes a heap of patience, a dollop of determination, and a whole lot of faith—just like learning to skip stones on the lake. And the most important thing is surrounding yourself with family and those who love you.
