Due to amazing ticket sales the event has been moved across the street to the lovely Thurber Park (the oval park in the middle of Jefferson Avenue). In Conversation with Maggie Smith!
Lola and the Troll is a debut picture book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Connie Schultz about a young girl named Lola who decides to be brave and stand up to a bully.
Lola is a happy kid who loves recess and her imaginary dog, Tank. There’s just one problem: the neighborhood bully. He hides behind a troll costume and says mean things to everyone who walks by, including Lola. Soon she starts wearing her hair differently, walking on her tippy toes to add a few extra inches to her height, and even putting cornstarch in her shoes because he said her feet stink! But when Lola’s mom takes her to her favorite place, The Bee’s Sneeze bookstore, the owner, Ms. Sneesby, reminds Lola that she LOVES her curly hair, her bright smile, and her big eyes. And most importantly, Ms. Sneesby reminds Lola that she is brave.
Lola and the Troll is about remembering how to be brave, even when it’s hard, and realizing that sometimes all a bully really needs is a little kindness.
You will have the opportunity to ask the Connie and Maggie questions after the event, purchase books, and get your books signed by both authors. Please bring a lawn chair or blanket with you.
