The Book Stall (811 Elm Street in Winnetka) is delighted to host sisters Robin Preiss Glasser and Jacqueline Preiss Weitzman on Wednesday, May 21 at 4:00 pm, as we celebrate their new collaboration, Flower Girls: A Story of Sisters, an endearing picture book about sisters, the gardens they nurture, and the people they'll grow into. Join us for storytime, activities, and a drawing demonstration! This program is free. Register HERE to reserve your family's place.
More about the Book: Everything blooms in its own time. Lily's garden is perfect and precise, while her sister Poppy's garden is eccentric and wild. Now that their youngest sister, Daisy, is old enough to have a garden of her own, the question is what will this flower girl choose to plant, and will her sisters stand back and let her bloom, or will they get in the way in the name of being helpful? From the talented sister duo behind Gloria's Promise and You Can't Take a Balloon into the Metropolitan Museum, writer Jacqueline Preiss Weitzman and bestselling Fancy Nancy illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser bring us a tale of the bonds of sisterhood and the flourishing roots of individuality.
