Earth Day Storytime with Melina Mangal | Red Balloon Bookshop
April 19 @ 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Celebrate Earth Day a few days early with Mélina Mangal, author of the new board books TREES STAND TALL and BIRDS SING THEIR WORDS! Join Mélina Mangal for a read-aloud of the books, a book signing, and more Earth Day-themed fun at Red Balloon Bookshop.
About TREES STAND TALL:
People are like trees—strong, flexible, and rooted. In TREES STAND TALL, two young children explore and interact with the trees in their neighborhood. Like tree roots, our families keep us rooted and standing tall.

About BIRDS SING THEIR WORDS:
Awaken young children to the sounds birds make, and to their own unique voices. In BIRDS SING THEIR WORDS, two young children notice the birds outdoors and, together with an adult, embark on a walk through their neighborhood. They observe a variety of birds along the way, listening to their calls and noticing how their own voices parallel the many songs that birds sing.
