NYC Book Launch Party for Mo Willems and Jon J. Muth's City Dog, Country Frog
Reading and Signing

Thursday, May 27, 4:30–5:30PM

A rare book reading and signing with two the most celebrated children's book creators in the country. New York Times bestselling children's book author Mo Willems will be making his first New York appearance in over a year, joined by acclaimed illustrator Jon J. Muth. In spring, when City Dog runs free in the country for the first time, he spots Country Frog sitting on a rock, waiting for a friend. "You'll do," Frog says, and together they play Country Frog games. In summer, they meet again and play City Dog games. Mo Willems' spare, poignant text and Jon J. Muth's expressive watercolors team up to tell a story that will resonate with readers of all ages. Mo Willems will also be reading from the newest installment in his Elephant and Piggie series, Can I Play Too?
Free. Ages 3–8.

Reading of Doug-Dennis and the Flyaway Fib Darren Farrell and Say Hello!
by Rachel Isadora

Sunday, May 23, 4–5PM

In the laugh-out-loud cautionary tale, Doug-Dennis and the Flyaway Fib, a small lie between friends grows bigger until Doug-Dennis is floating in a land of lies–some of them big, some small, and some just downright weird. Doug-Dennis misses his best friend, and realizes there's only one way to come back down: by finally telling the truth. In Caldecott Honor winner Rachel Isadora's Say Hello!, eye-catching collages are full of kid-friendly details like colorful storefronts, pigeons, and an ice cream truck, making Carmelita's neighborhood fun to explore. Say Hello! emphasizes the rich diversity of America's neighborhoods. This simple portrait of a child's day provides a great introduction to the joy of language.
Free. Ages 3–7.
