Picture Book Author &
Illustrator Peter Brown will present a special free program for families at
the Spencer Road Branch Library at 6:00 pm. He will talk about his newest
book, Mr. Tiger Goes Wild and draw for program participants. Brown was honored last year with a Caldecott Medal Honor Award for his
book Creepy Carrots. The Caldecott Medal is a national award
chosen by the American Library Association and presented to the best
illustrated book published in the United States. More favorite
books by Peter Brown include: You Will Be My Friend, Children
Make Terrible Pets and Chowder. His book The Curious Garden
is currently featured in a Picture Book Storybook Walk at Quail Ridge Park
in Wentzville. Walk about a mile along the lake trail and read the book
page by page. Books will be available for sale at the September 5
program and autographed by the author. It's a perfect opportunity to
pick up a special gift for a child in your family or teacher or childcare
provider. This is a great opportunity to see a nationally recognized
children's book illustrator and hear about his books. Bring the whole
family for a wonderful evening.
