Join author Megan Litwin as she shares her newest book Gather Grateful! As colors in nature start to change, animals begin gathering items—squirrels their acorns, crows their treasures, raccoons the bits and pieces needed to fortify their homes. Animals of all species prepare to gather with each other too, for warmth, for affection, for sharing food or stories. 

A book signing will follow the program. Can’t make it? You may reserve signed books online.
