A Sweater, a Shoe, and You with Marla Frazee and Larissa Theule

Come ready for community and care! Even when tempers flair and the world outside is harsh, love is abundant in these brand new picture books by local creatives. Marla Frazee has illustrated Because of a Shoe written by Julie Fogliano. Larissa Theule has written The Sweater: A Story of Community illustrated by Teagan White. The two will read their books, chat about their creative process, answer questions from the audience, and then sign books. Best for ages 4+.
