FAMILY STORYTIME: 'Rainbow Cookies' with local author Lesléa Newman

FAMILY STORYTIME: 'Rainbow Cookies' with local author Lesléa Newman

Join us and local author Lesléa Newman for a celebratory launch of her inclusive new picture book, RAINBOW COOKIES, illustrated by Z.B. Asterplume, on Saturday, May 30, from 10-10:30am. Storytime is free and no registration is required to attend.

ABOUT 'RAINBOW COOKIES'
Every month Ms. Madeleine creates a special cookie of the month for her bakery. And her best customer, a little girl named Cookie, is always the first to try it. Ms. Madeleine's sweet treats never disappoint.
When June arrives, Cookie and her two moms stop in and taste the best cookie yet: a heart-shaped, rainbow-striped, crunchy, frosted confection that Ms. Madeleine baked especially for Pride.

But Rainbow Cookies make some people in the neighborhood angry. They write harsh notes. They cancel orders. Ms. Madeleine is afraid her Rainbow Cookie might be her last.

But Cookie is not about to let that happen. With great determination and a fabulous idea, she gathers friends and neighbors to support Ms. Madeleine. Together they show the whole town how colorful and fun and celebratory and delicious the combination of love, Pride, and cookies can be!
