Kick off the Halloween season with a story time and craft with local author, Melinda Beatty. Melinda will read her SEL book, Things That Go Bump in the Day, followed by a book signing and fun craft.Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event. This event is free and open to the public. Presented in partnership with Frederick County Public Libraries.
About the book: Vampire Vlad is all tucked in, ready for bed. But his imagination runs wild when he hears all the daytime noises happening outside. A clickety-clack, a skreek and a clang? Who knows what that could be! With each new sound, Vlad races to his patient and reassuring, but tired mama's room until he learns how to calm himself down and finally get a good day's rest. Melinda Beatty's clever text and award-winning illustrator Charlene Chua's imaginative illustrations make the perfect bedtime read (during the day or night) for anyone a little nervous to go to bed.
About the author: Melinda Beatty (she/her) is the author of the Heartseeker series and the picture book Tell the Truth, Pangolin, illustrated by Paola Escobar. Her passion for books spills over into her second career as an indie bookseller. After living in boats, basements, and attics, she and her husband now reside in western Maryland with their two kids.
