Join the Greenfield Public Library for an event with Rebecca Caprara, author of Worst-Case Collin, which was a Bank Street College Best Children’s Book of the Year!

This poignant middle grade novel in verse follows twelve-year-old Collin who manages his anxiety by mapping out survival plans for any disaster or worst-case scenario. Ever since he lost his mom in a car accident, he’s been journaling about how to overcome things like avalanches, riptides, or even a bad case of halitosis. Can Collin learn to be vulnerable around those he loves, even when he can’t control every possible scenario?

Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a journal decorating and writing workshop.
