Discover the Secret Lives of Everyday Objects!

What does a delicious parfait, a spunky fire hydrant, and a traveling leaf have in common? Each has a unique story to share in this exciting picture book panel!

Bring your young reader's attention to the magic (and silliness) of everyday objects all around us with these tales filled with humor and imagination.

Lou by BREANNA CARZOO. This fire hydrant has big dreams of being more than just the neighborhood toilet for passing canines — when disaster strikes will he rise up to the task?

If You Find a Leaf by AIMEE SICURO. A leaf can be a crown, a skirt, and a hero's cape. Encourage your young reader to stretch their imagination with this ode to the beauty and wonder of nature!

Parfait, Not Parfait! by SCOTT ROTHMAN. Laugh-out-loud with your young reader over hysterical puns and a-ha moments! After all, a Shar-Pei dog can't possible be a Shar-Pei marker. (Or can it!?)

More Than Peach by BELLEN WOODARD. Bellen, the very first Crayon Activist, is on a mission! She wants her classmates, schools and the crayon industry to know that "skin can be any number of beautiful colors" NOT just peach!

We can't wait to see you and your young readers at this virtual weekend read-aloud that promises a whole lot of fun!
