Join in to Virtual Story Time presented by the St. Louis County Library as they welcome author and illustrator Christian Robinson, author of You Matter. This full, bright and beautiful picture book is about seeing the world from different points of view.
Different perspectives from around the world are deftly and empathetically explored - from a pair of bird watchers to the pigeons they are feeding. Young readers will be drawn into the lumionous illustrations inviting them to engage with the world in a new way and see how everyone's lives are connected.
Robinson is a Coretta Scott King Illustrator honoree and Caldecott winner.
To participate in this Virtual Story Time, go to the HEC Facebook page, where the story time will be live.
Saturday, June 13 at 2 p.m.
Signed books are available through the Novel Neighbor.
