Join us to welcome local author/illustrators Jennifer K. Mann and Corinna Luyken and celebrate the release of their new picture books GOOD MORNING, MORNING! and HELLO, OCEAN!ABOUT THE BOOKS:
GOOD MORNING, MORNING! by Maya Myers, illustrated by Jennifer K. Mann
Just before daybreak, a child steps outside to plant warm feet on the cool ground.
Though it’s quiet, there’s so much sensory magic to see and feel and hear: lacy slug trails on the porch; spiderwebs rippling in the grass; birdsong in the air; wet dew and spiky pine needles to walk through in the woods beyond the yard.
Expertly modeling mindfulness, the child breathes in the still-sleepy world, taking in every little detail. But when the sun’s warm rays arrive, it’s time to run and jump and cartwheel! GOOD MORNING, MORNING!
GOOD MORNING, MORNING! is a perfect read-aloud for restless youngsters learning to self-soothe, and may well serve families as a new ritual to ease chaotic mornings. The joyous shout of the ending will bring the energy right back up, with a new focus toward the natural wonders all around us.

HELLO, OCEAN!, by Corinna Luyken
Hello, sand. Hello, toes. Hello, ocean. Hello, hello, hello!
In this glowing portrait of beachtime joy, a girl greets the many things she encounters, celebrating them all. Razor clams and sand dollars, the splish and splash of water, logs and dune grass and . . . uh-oh, garbage too. When she discovers a knotted pile of debris, she and her parents work to get it cleaned up, then go on with their busy, happy day at the shore.
