Whitelam Books

Whitelam Books is delighted to welcome back children's author Monica Acker as she celebrates her new picture book The Legend of Leo: a Dandy-Lion Tale, Sunday, June 28 at 3:00PM. Join us for this family-friendly event for readers of all ages. Whitelam Books is located in downtown Reading at 610 Main Street, near the intersection of Haven Street and Main Street.&nbsp;

Books will be available for purchase and signing. This event is free and open to the public – all are welcome!&nbsp;&nbsp;



About this event: This laugh-out-loud picture book will have kiddos engrossed and adults enjoying along with them.

This is the tale of Leo, an ordinary dandelion…
“I beg your pardon! I am anything but ordinary. I am a dande-LION, king of all beings. Golden-maned, wise, and humble, I rule over all. See how this beast bows before me?”“Umm, I believe that cat is simply taking a nap on you.”

“Nonsense. This wise reader knows I am magnificent. ROAR!...*GASP* Why are you laughing? Stop that laughter!”

Tailor-made for hamming it up while reading aloud, The Legend of Leo: A Dandy-Lion Tale is a silly and thought-provoking story that has fun with our collective desire to think ourselves special. Be prepared for plenty of giggles and requests to make wishes on dandelions.
