We’re excited to welcome Kurt Becker for a special reading of his award-winning children’s book, Fred & Mavis — a heartfelt and engaging story about an unlikely friendship between Fred, a crab who prefers life on his own, and Mavis, a shy seagull learning to find her voice.
Together, Fred and Mavis discover what it means to trust, set boundaries, and work as a team—making this a meaningful read for young readers and families alike.
✨ Why we love this one:
• A sweet, approachable story about friendship and trust
• Encourages conversations around boundaries and teamwork
• Includes fun “Seek & Find” elements to keep kids engaged
• Thoughtfully designed using Dyslexie font to support readers with dyslexia
• Bonus: author notes and parent discussion questions to continue the conversation at home
🏅 2023 Silver Medalist/Finalist – Midwest Independent Publishers Association (MIPA) Awards
After storytime, stick around to meet Kurt and have your book signed!
📚 Books will be available for purchase in-store, or you can purchase ahead of time and bring your copy back for signing.
