From WOOD COUNTY DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY
The community is invited to join the Wood County District Public Library for a talk with bestselling children’s book author, Laura Numeroff, on Saturday, Nov. 15, at 10:30 a.m. in the Bowling Green library atrium. WCDPL is celebrating its 150th birthday with her title, “If You Give a Pig a Party.” She will also be available to sign books after the event.
A New York Times best-selling children’s book author, Numeroff is best known for the series based on her book “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.” First printed in 1985, “Mouse” is now beyond its 60th printing. The fourth book in the series, “If You Take a Mouse to the Movies” was on the New York Times Children’s Best Seller list for five months – nine weeks at number one.
Numeroff was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up as the youngest of three girls, surrounded by art, music, and books. She attended Pratt Institute and graduated with a degree in communications and a contract for her first children’s book, “Amy for Short,” published in 1975 by Macmillan.
This event is supported by the Estate of Marjorie Conrad. The first 50 families will receive a copy of “If You Give a Pig a Pancake” as a gift from St. Mark’s Lutheran Academy.
The event is free and open to the public. No registration is required. For more information, call 419-352-8253 or email woodkids@wcdpl.org.
