Join local authors Amanda Davis and Erin Petti as they celebrate Amanda's newest picture book release and debut as author-illustrator, Sometimes Stormy: A Story About Finding Calm and Staying Safe When Someone You Love Drinks Too Much. The evening will begin with mindful movement and music led by Erin, followed by a reading, book talk, and signing of Sometimes Stormy with Amanda. Amanda will demonstrate how to use picture books to discuss essential topics with kids such as grief, loss, and substance use disorder. She will also share about her personal connection to the story and her passion for writing stories that help children and families feel seen and less alone. The event will conclude with a Q&A and sweet treats for all! Books will be available for purchase and signing onsite through Storybook Cove.
This event is suggested for children ages 5 and older and their families but all are welcome.
ABOUT THE BOOK: Sometimes Stormy explores what it’s like to live with a parent struggling with alcohol use disorder. A young boy named Ezra realizes his dad is plagued by a troubling storm—the Sometimes Storm—that sometimes visits their home and changes Dad. He goes searching for the storm’s favorite thing, hoping that he can make it go away. But when the storm persists, Ezra turns to caring adults, who help him discover how to live with the Sometimes Storm instead.

Reminder: No Miniatures meeting on 11/27 for Thanksgiving Holiday. Have you seen people playing tabletop RPGs or other games with figurines or terrain? Have you ever thought that it might be fun to do that but you just don't know how to get started? Are you between the ages of 12-18? Come check out the Teen Miniature Club! We'll be building, painting, and even playing games with miniatures. "Once every few years, when the moon is just right, when the perfect scent of fungus is on the wind, when the moss grows on the east face of the rocks, when there are just enough goblins around, that means it's time for... THE GREAT GOBLIN ARGLE-BARGLE!" If you have any questions, feel free to email Tom, the Reference Assistant, at twhite@marshfield.ocln.org |
