Sarah Lynn Baker will read her debut picture book, Becca & Bubbe’s Bucket List. After Becca learns the term “bucket list” from her grandmother, she decides to make her own list, packed with everything from swimming in the ocean for the first time to baking turtle-shaped challah. But in between a water-balloon fight and a rooftop sleepover, she also has a plan to help Bubbe check an item off her bucket list. Peppered with Yiddish and Hebrew words and full of affection, this is a joyful and inspiring story that’s perfect for family sharing.

After the reading, Sarah will lead some fun drawing activities for families in attendance.

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

Sarah Lynn Baker illustrates with dip pen and ink, pencil, gouache, and digital media, delighting most in capturing the relationships and quiet moments between characters. She also writes picture books and serves as the executive director of SCBWI. Sarah lives in a small village in New York’s Hudson Valley with her husband, two daughters, two sweet rescue dogs, and one grumpy rescue cat. When she’s not drawing or working, you’ll find her hiking in the woods, swimming in hidden swimming holes, and fawning over the children’s section of every bookstore she can find. You can find Sarah on Instagram at @sarahlynnbaker.
