About the Event:
Join us for a special double author story time with Ellen Mayer (Flutter, Flap, Fly!) and Sara Levine (A Visit With the Birds: A Hands-on Nature Book).
Flutter, Flap, Fly!: Teo rides on Papi’s shoulders to the playground, wishing he could soar and swoop like the birds above. He pretends to be a bird, fluttering his arms like one splashing in a puddle. Soon, his favorite playground structure transforms into a big tree as new playmates take little Teo under their wing, and together they peck, hop, and fly, giving Teo the courage to soar and swoop like the birds.
Flutter, Flap, Fly! is a joyful story that models language development through pretend play inspired by observing the natural world on the playground.
A Visit With the Birds: A Hands-on Nature Book: Connect with nature in this interactive trip to an urban park full of wildlife! Little ones will be prompted to count the birds they see, point out colors, spread birdseed, and keep an eye out for other critters. As they follow and interact with the story, kids will learn how to use their senses to take in the amazing natural world around them.
