saturday, september 30, 11:00am
Join us for another story time with debut picture book author Jen Fier Jasinski as she reads My Piano, an adorable book that follows a young musician as she prepares for her very first piano recital.
A musical, lyrical treat of a book that describes the steps on how to prepare a piano for playing, and the emotions you can feel while playing your instrument of choice. Please feel free to bring your little ones to meet the author and enjoy a storybook reading that's sure to be music to the ears! Jasinski has prepared a small activity at the end of the reading as well. |
