SUMMARY:Tricia Elam Walker for "Nana Akua Goes to School"\, "Dream Street"
DESCRIPTION:Come to a storytime with Tricia Elam Walker\, featuring her books Dream Street and Nana Akua Goes to School. \nAbout the books: \nIt is Grandparents Day at Zura’s elementary school\, and the students are excited to introduce their grandparents and share what makes them special. Aleja’s grandfather is a fisherman. Bisou’s grandmother is a dentist. But Zura’s Nana\, who is her favorite person in the world\, looks a little different from other grandmas. Nana Akua was raised in Ghana\, and\, following an old West African tradition\, has tribal markings on her face. Worried that her classmates will be scared of Nana–or worse\, make fun of her–Zura is hesitant to bring her to school. Nana Akua knows what to do\, though. With a quilt of traditional African symbols and a bit of face paint\, Nana Akua is able to explain what makes her special\, and to make all of Zura’s classmates feel special\, too. \n  \nWelcome to Dream Street–the best street in the world!  Jump rope with Azaria–can you Double Dutch one leg at a time?  Dream big with Ede and Tari\, who wish to create a picture book together one day. Say hello with Mr. Sidney\, a retired mail carrier who greets everyone with the words\, “Don’t wait to have a great day. Create one!” On Dream Street\, love between generations rules\, everyone is special\, and the warmth of the neighborhood shines. \nTricia Elam Walker is an award-winning author\, attorney and educator.  Her first novel\, Breathing Room\, was published by Simon & Schuster/PocketBooks in 2001. Her work has appeared in The Washington Post\, The Baltimore Sun\, Essence and other publications.  She has provided commentary for NPR\, CNN\, the BBC and more.  Tricia’s short stories are included in the O.Henry Prize Stories\, New Stories from the South and other anthologies and her essays are published in Father’s Songs\, Dream Me Home Safely\, It’s All About Love and more. \n  \nThis will be an in-person event.

He’s a Commonwealth of Virginia Gubernatorial Appointee to the Virginia College Building Authority Board.

SUMMARY:Cece Bell for Animal Albums from A to Z
DESCRIPTION:Join Cece Bell for a storytime event! From the inimitable creator of El Deafo\, this all-ages alphabet book is also a hand-wrought\, high-fidelity\, hilariously tongue-in-cheek homage to the golden days of album cover art. Cece Bell loves music and collecting old record albums\, her introduction explains\, especially albums featuring animal artists. The bouncing harmonies of the Barbershop Beagles\, the elegant crooning of the elephant Ella Fontaine\, the hilarious rhymes of the Hip-Hop Hedgehogs—all are represented in this quirky ABC book that draws on the creator’s personal collection of albums\, memorabilia\, and lyrics dating between 1944 and 1984\, the heyday of album design. With wry\, witty text\, silly and sumptuous sound play\, and biographical back matter on all twenty-six musical acts\, the book commands and stands up to repeated readings. Bright\, zany art—all painted and lettered by hand—a stellar design\, and an album-size trim make it a collector’s item in its own right\, sure to grace the coffee tables of vinyl- and design-loving adults even as it tickles young funny bones. Plus\, a QR code inside the book leads to original recordings of all twenty-six songs and bonus music videos. A hootenanny hosted by the creator of the Newbery Honor Book and Eisner Award winner El Deafo\, Animal Albums from A to Z also quietly reminds us just how much music can mean to everyone. \nCece Bell is the creator of the graphic novel El Deafo\, which was a Newbery Honor Book and a Will Eisner Comic Industry Award winner\, the Geisel Honor Book Rabbit and Robot: The Sleepover\, Rabbit and Robot and Ribbit\, I Yam a Donkey!\, Bee-Wigged\, Itty Bitty\, the Chick and Brain books\, and the Sock Monkey series. She has also created books with her husband\, Tom Angleberger\, including Crankee Doodle and the Inspector Flytrap series. \n  \nIf you want to purchase this book online and still support People’s Book\, follow the link below: \nhttps://bookshop.org/a/88548/9781536226249 \nThis is an in-person event.
