Missed our event in August? You can join us at Patrick Henry Library for another story time with local author Gabriella Aldeman! We are celebrating her sophomore picture book Squawk of Spanish, fantastic for ages 3-7, but all are welcome to attend!

Squawk of Spanish follows Max, a boy who isn't confident in his Spanish or his words. He's finding trouble rolling his R's and pronouncing certain things, and his cousins always tease him about it. But he loves spending weekends baking with his Spanish-speaking abuela while Lorito, a talkative pet parrot, helps translate. But when Lorito disappears for a day, Max and his abela must figure out how to communicate; Max's Spanish doesn't have to be perfect, and Abuela can attempt a little English...

This heartwarming picture book is about the interconnectedness of family and pushes the importance of trying even if you're not perfect at something yet! Practice makes perfect, and you may even be surprised at your own skills and knowledge! Free to attend, and RSVP links will be added once it is available.
