Join us on Monday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. when Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine will talk about her new book, Stolen Magic. Levine won a Newbery Honor for Ella Enchanted and is known for her fantasy books featuring strong girl protagonists. Politics & Prose will be selling copies of Levine's books, but the program is free and no purchase is required.
The Children's Book Guild of Washington D.C. will be celebrating Port Chicago 50: Disaster, Mutiny, and the Fight for Civil Rights and its author Steve Sheinkin on Saturday, April 25 at Clyde's Gallery Place Restaurant.
This book was one of Karen MacPherson's favorites for 2014!
Australian kids' author Andy Griffiths will present his newest comic novel for kids, The 39-Story Treehouse, on Monday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. Griffiths' books are filled with both zany comedy and many illustrations in the style of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and are popular with kids ages 8-12. Griffiths himself has a reputation as a hilarious presenter, so we expect this event to be particularly fun! Politics & Prose will be selling copies of Griffiths' books, but the program is free and no purchase is required to attend.
Join us for Spring Crafts on Sunday, April 19 from 2:00-3:00. Drop in and enjoy flower and butterfly scratch art, decorate a Mother's Day card, or make a felt flower bouquet! All ages are welcome, but crafts vary in their difficulty.
Please join us tonight Monday April 13 at 7 p.m. to kick-off a new season of our Caldecott Club, our family book club. We'll be reading together, via the big screen, some of the best new picture books published this year. Then we'll have a brief discussion about each book, and conclude by voting on our favorite of the night. Of course, we'll also be serving lemonade and cookies!
This year, the club sessions will be particularly important to me, as I have the honor of serving on the 2016 Caldecott Committee and will be listening closely to the opinions of kids and adults alike about the books we read.
No registration is necessary for this fun program. Just come and enjoy reading together some wonderful books!
