Teachers, parents, grandparents, and all those interested in picture books for children -- join us on Tuesday, December 12th at 6 p.m. for Lester Laminack's presentation on some recent titles he recommends. Lester is Professor Emeritus from the Department of Birth-Kindergarten, Elementary, and Middle Grades Education at Western Carolina University. He is now a full-time writer and consultant working with schools throughout the United States. Lester is the author of such modern classics as The Sunsets of Miss Olivia Wiggins and Saturdays and Teacakes, as well as the recent laugh-along, Three Hens, a Peacock, and the Enormous Egg. We'll have Lester's suggestions plus copies of his work available for purchase, and, as always, our gift wrapping is complimentary!
