Children's Art Workshop and Book Launch with Carolyn Fisher

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 21, 1:30-3:00PM

Calling all number-loving kids! Children in Grades 1-2 are invited to join local author and artist Carolyn Fisher for a fun and creative art workshop based on Carolyn's new book, I'm Longer than You! An Epic Contest of Measurement.

In this book we learn about the metric and foot-pound systems as Blue Whale and Supersaurus face off in a contest to see who is the longest animal. Following a reading of the book, workshop participants will join Carolyn for an exciting collaborative art project.

Each child will also have the chance to choose a book from our shelves to take home to keep, and each family will receive a copy of Carolyn's new book, I'm Longer than You! An Epic Contest of Measurement.
