We are SO excited for autumn to begin! All of our staff have been chattering about it for weeks, so it's extra delicious that we get to celebrate its arrival with friends! Specifically, JOHN COY, whose new book, 'The Secret Of Fall', is a great way to kick off the season! He will be in conversation with another great friend of Wild Rumpus - MOLLY BETH GRIFFIN, who has a fall book of her own--'The Big Leaf Leap'!Join us for story time, crayon leaf rubbings, and autumnal fun as we usher in the crisp, cool air and brilliant colors of this delightful season!
And don't forget! The Linden Hills Fall Festival is happening just down the road in Linden Hills Park on the same day, so swing on by after story time!
