Sunday Story Time: Wild Turkeys (& Deer, Too!)

Bring the family and settle in for not one, but two seasonal stories read by GCSNA volunteer and author Karol Antrim.
Karol Antrim, a retired children's librarian, Texas Master Naturalist, and GCSNA volunteer, will be sharing two books from her Texas Nature Trail Adventures series, Wild Turkeys and White-tailed Deer. The non-fiction rhyming picture books are Karol's retirement affirmations. "After two decades of struggling to find age-appropriate and endearing non-fiction books for children 3-8 that were not 1) too wordy and boring or 2) too basic and general, I decided to just write my own". She's excited to share her work with nature-loving children and parents.
Karol will have feathers, antlers, and other artifacts to learn about during the story time.
