About this event

Ready to laugh? Join authors Tracy Subisak ( The Inactivity Book ), Shawn Harris ( Duel ) , and Zoey Abbot ( How to Draw a Zombie ) for a live reading of their latest amusing picture books! Hosted by Emily Arrow.

About The Inactivity Book :

Told in Kyo Maclear’s signature lyrical voice, and with Tracy Subisak’s whimsical illustrations, here is a funny ode to the lost art of loafing. In a world that often celebrates productivity, this picture book reminds us of the quiet, necessary joy of simply being. It’s perfect for idlers of all ages–because who doesn’t need a little inactivity now and then?

About Duel :

Caldecott Honoree Shawn Harris uses mirrored images to tell the story of two queens, two knights, and a duel over one shared hill in this astonishingly symmetrical picture book. Two castles sit on a hill, home to two queens. But the queens would rather not share, and each sends a knight to joust for the land. Two queens is one too many for this hill, the queens concurred. Let’s hold a duel. The one who wins will rule the hill in whole. There’s just one problem—when the winner stands up in the middle of the field, no one is sure which side he came from. Maybe neighborly sharing is back in vogue! After all, they have so much in common.

About How to Draw a Zombie :

When it comes to drawing zombies, embracing imperfection is the way to go in this tongue-in-cheek instructional picture book narrated by a zombie.
