Join us for the release of Magic Elizabeth by Norma Kassirer- with new illustrations by Mark Richardson. Please register to attend due to limited space. Light refreshments.
About the book:&nbsp;When Sally is sent to spend the summer in a creaky old house with her elderly Aunt Sarah and a decidedly unfriendly cat, she expects weeks of boredom and loneliness. Everything changes when she discovers a mysterious painting of a little girl holding a doll and learns that the doll vanished long ago. Drawn by curiosity, Sally ventures into the attic, where an old mirror seems to open a doorway into another time and a story waiting to be finished.

Now available in a beautifully refreshed edition, this classic story is enhanced with exquisite new full-color illustrations, inviting a new generation of readers into its timeless world of wonder. Perfect for independent reading or sharing aloud, Magic Elizabeth remains a moving reminder that imagination, kindness, and love can travel across time.
About the author:
Norma Kassirer, writer and artist, became best known for her middle-grade children's classic Magic Elizabeth, first published in 1966 and featured in Eden Ross Lipson's New York Times Parent's Guide to the Best Books for Children. Another middle-grade novel, The Doll Snatchers, was published in 1969. In addition, Norma was the author of numerous books and short stories for adults. Norma's daughter Sue Kassirer was thrilled to recently rediscover the original manuscript for The Knitting Witch, a story she had loved as a child. Wanting to share it with today's children, Sue proceeded to edit and gently update the story, drawing on her many years of experience as a children's book editor at Simon &amp; Schuster, The Viking Press, Random House, and Harper Collins.

Join us for the book launch of Bonnie Denmark's new children's book, The Trouble With Hector, on Wednesday October 7th at 7:00pm.&nbsp;
About the book:&nbsp;
A boy uses his savings to buy a lizard-or something like that-and gets much more than he bargained for. The boy and his new pet, Hector, form a fast bond, but when Hector goes to school for show-and-tell, the sparks really fly. After Hector's fire-breathing antics get him banished from school and home, he meets a new friend and discovers the taming power of love.
About the author:
The Trouble With Hector&nbsp;(Lawley Publishing) is Bonnie’s first children’s picture book. Though she’s written everything from educational materials to video scripts to health and science articles, children’s literature remains closest to her heart. After all, that’s where the magic happens!
Alongside her writing, Bonnie has worked nationally and internationally as an educator, editor, literacy specialist, and teacher trainer. She has also served on advisory panels focused on education, technology, and accessibility for people with disabilities. She has a master’s degree in linguistics as well as K-12 teaching credentials, and she loves to have fun with words.
