Description

Old Man Fookwire is a grump. The only thing he likes to do is paint pictures of the birds that visit his backyard. The problem is, they fly south every winter, leaving him sad and lonely. So he decides to get them to stay by putting up beautiful birdfeeders filled with seeds and berries. Unfortunately, the squirrels like the treats, too, and make a daring raid on the feeders. The conflict escalates—until the birds depart (as usual), and the squirrels come up with a plan that completely charms the old grump. About the Author

Saturday, June 28, 11:00 AM Adam Rubin and Dan Salmieri present Big Bad Bubble

The fantastic picture book team behind Dragons Love Tacos and Secret Pizza Party is back with Big Bad Bubble! An ordinary bubble may seem pretty harmless to you. To the monsters of La La Land, however, a fragile, shimmering bubble is an object of terror, and when the frightening habits of bubbles are detailed by a fear-mongering monster, Yerbert, Froofle, and Wumpus run away and cry. But with encouragement from the narrator and from readers, the three learn to confront their fears and triumph over the bubble. Join us as author Adam Rubin and illustrator Dan Salmieri present their original, offbeat, and giggle-inducing take on conquering fears with an interactive reading and art demonstration at Greenlight’s Story Time! Ages 3 to 8.
