Special Storytime: Britt Crow-Miller

Join local author and educator Britt Crow-Miller for a reading of her new picture book Thank You, Old Oak. After 400 years in the forest, it’s time for Old Oak to fall. With a pop, frenzy of snaps, and a flurry of movement, she leans to one side and falls heavily to rest on the forest floor. When news of beloved Old Oak spreads throughout the forest, creatures big and small gather to show their gratitude for all she gave in her rooted life. But they soon discover Old Oak’s life is actually just beginning, and her legacy will serve the forest for hundreds of years to come. In addition to the storytime, Britt will also have some oak-related materials on hand for curious young scientists to investigate.
