SUMMARY:Jason Logan for How to Be a Color Wizard
DESCRIPTION:In a bountiful book combining art and chemistry\, a celebrated ink maker invites kids to become color wizards—by foraging and transforming natural materials to make their own paint and artistic creations. \nIn this book you will find secret recipes\, magic formulas\, and wild experiments that will delight your friends\, intimidate your enemies\, and turn you into a color wizard.\n\nWhat colors might await in a leafy forest\, a berry-stained back alley\, a seaweedy beach\, or even the dark corners of an ordinary fridge? With this book as a guide\, curious young wizards can make natural confetti\, unlock the hidden color power inside a leaf\, and craft a paintbrush wand. They’ll brew magic potions from beets and acorn caps to produce their own colors\, from the darkest black to the palest pink to invisible ink\, then share their discoveries with friends\, family\, and the whole color-hungry human race. With whimsy and infectious enthusiasm\, master ink maker Jason Logan explains the science of color while presenting “quests\,” recipes\, and hands-on activities using materials kids can find in their own homes and neighborhoods. Featuring both photographs and the author’s own gorgeous homemade-ink illustrations\, How to Be a Color Wizard is an ideal blend of art and science—plus a little bit of magic. \n\n\nJason Logan is the founder of the Toronto Ink Company (maker of ink for Margaret Atwood\, Yoko Ono\, Michael Ondaatje\, and Harley-Davidson). His art has been exhibited in New York City\, Los Angeles\, Toronto\, and the Yukon\, and his inkmaking revolution has been featured by the New York Times\, Martha Stewart\, the New Yorker\, and NPR. His book for grown-up wizards\, Make Ink: A Forager’s Guide to Natural Inkmaking\, was included in the Guardian’s Best Books of 2018 roundup. The Colour of Ink\, a film featuring his work\, was a special selection at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2022. He can be found picking up rusty nails and scavenging for berries on the streets of Toronto\, where he lives with his family and a giant dog known as Baby. \nThis is an in-person event. Seated capacity at People’s Book is 50 patrons. Standing room is an option. All events are first-come\, first-served seating. Accessible seating is always available.

SUMMARY:Storytime: Brenna Maloney for Good Dad Diego
DESCRIPTION:Join author Brenna Maloney for a Sunday morning storytime!\n\n\nIn this humorous celebration of fatherhood\, an irresistibly adorable (and real!) pug shows what it takes to be a good dad. \nDiego is a dog\, but he has one of the toughest jobs in the world. Is he a ninja? Nope. Is he a superhero? Nope. Is he a king or a police officer or the president? Nope. Nope. Nope. Diego is a DAD. And that requires the patience and fortitude of all of these positions combined . . . as Diego–an adorable pug–demonstrates in this laugh-out-loud photographic picture book. Admonitions and chores may be somewhat different for dogs: “Stop chewing on the furniture!” “Don’t eat cat barf!” But Diego does everything out of love . . . and we get to see the objects of his affection at the end of the story: pug puppies!! \n\n\n\nBrenna Maloney is an award-winning writer and editor with more than 30 years’ publishing experience. A long-time reporter and editor for The Washington Post and former managing editor of National Geographic’s Explorer magazine\, Brenna currently teaches and directs the journalism program at George Mason University in Fairfax\, Va.

SUMMARY:Erin K. Robinson for "Ayo's Adventure: Across the African Diaspora from Afro to Zulu"
DESCRIPTION:“Ayo told his mother all about the cultures\, celebrations\, and places he’d visited…He told her how Black people around the world fought\, rebelled\, and resisted\, to create\, innovate\, and inspire.” \nOne night as Ayo sits in front of a world map\, his dad explains\, “Our ancestors came from many nations in Africa. We are still connected to them today…”\n“What do you mean\, Dad?”\n“I’ll tell you more about this tomorrow\, Ayo. Right now\, it’s bedtime.” \nBut when Ayo drifts off to sleep\, his dreams take him on an extraordinary journey through space\, time and the alphabet to discover cultures of the African diaspora. “H” is for hip-hop\, and “K” is kente cloth. “M” is for Mansa Mansa to and “R” is for revolution. He learns just how much the African diaspora has inspired the entire world in this A to Z exploration of Black history and culture.\n  \nErin K. Robinson is an Emmy-nominated illustrator trained at the Parsons School of Design and the Corcoran School of Art. Erin’s illustrations have been featured in the New York Times and the Washington Post\, and she has illustrated numerous picture books\, including A Library by Nikki Giovanni.
