AUTHOR STORY TIME WITH TONI D'ALIA & SARAH SPEEDIE

Join us for an extra special storytime with two fantastic children’s book authors, Toni D’Alia and Sarah Speedie. There will be bossy cats, helpful worms, busy bees and beautiful books followed by a fun craft activity.

Toni is celebrating the release of Worms Are Our Friends, the second picture book in her ‘Our Friends in the Garden’ series for preschoolers.⁠ With beautiful bright illustrations by Mimi Purnell, Worms are Our Friends celebrates all the hard work the the unassuming little worm does in the garden. The first book in the series is the delightful Bees are Our Friends.

Sarah has not one but two beautiful newly released picture books to read to us. Boss Cat (created with Tom Jellett) is a hilarious story about what happens when Boss Cat is confronted with an adorable new canine intruder in the house. This delightfully grumpy puss is sure to entertain little readers!⁠ Wild About Book Week, written by Sarah and illustrated by Kurti Desai, introduces children to the excitement of Book Week and shows us that the best costumes are the most creative!
