About this Event

Join us Saturday, February 21st at 10:00 AM for a free children’s storytime with Big Tool Box’s own Mike J. Likvan. Mike has been a valued member of our team for over four years, and writing is one of his creative passions. He will read his children’s book, “Red Is Not a Purple Cow”, which tells the story of Red, a young boy who moves from the big city and starts first grade at a school where he knows no one. Excited to learn, Red faces challenges with dyslexia and teasing from classmates, until he meets Violet the cow. With her guidance, Red learns new ways to handle tough situations and sees the brighter side of life.

After the reading, stay to meet Mike for a book signing. Copies of “Red Is Not a Purple Cow” are $9.95 and can be purchased or preordered when you RSVP. Signed copies are also available anytime at Big Tool Box. This event is perfect for children ages 6 and up, and we’re proud to celebrate the talents of our local team members.
