Join us for an informal Saturday morning author Meet & Greet with a few of OC Publishing's Children's authors: Author & Illustrator E.M. Gales (Orange Kitty and the Mouse Parade), Barbara Ann Miller (Zig Zag Zeffy), and special guest Zeffy!Orange Kitty and the Mouse Parade is a playful, colourful, vibrantly illustrated, counting and rhyming children's picture book about a sleepy cat that snoozes through a lively parade with fifty-five marching, cheering, trumpeting, baton-twirling mice, who tumble out from a "little blue door just an inch from the floor." Each dramatic page brings increasing numbers of little furry performers, from ONE marching maestro, through the final FIFTY-FIVE mice, spilling onto the page in a joyful splash of fun and frolics. Little readers will be charmed by the costumed revelers and will delight in counting the mice on each page and learning and recognizing the numbers emblazoned on each of their tiny costumes. Adult readers will love the read-aloud rhythm and help spark a love of learning, while counting along with their little ones, and helping spot the numbers.
Zig Zag Zeffy is a heart-warming story of a Hu-Mom who adopts an energetic, fun-loving Puggle named Zeffy. It's a rhyming narrative that follows the pair as they develop an unbreakable bond. From Zeffy's adoption as a puppy, through a few growing pains, to obedience training and exploring the wide world outside, Zeffy and his Hu-Mom learn about each other, and about boundaries, and loving and living life. It's the first in a planned series that will teach themes such as inclusion and self-esteem with fun and rhythmic story-telling that ignites a child’s passion for reading, while developing knowledge and enhancing social interaction with animals as well as people.
