Green Bean Bookstore Reading

In my neighborhood there is a children's book store

that my grandson loves visiting, Green Bean Books.

Recently they had a new book introduced by the author, Kelly DiPucchio,
 and artist, Christian Robinson.

What a fun adventure to hear the artist read their new book,

Antionette.  She read it with a French accents because of course

Antionette was French.

Then the illustrator sketched some pictures for the kids.

He asked what each kids favorite animal was.

My grandson said a coyote.

I never quite realized how important the illustrator was to a book.

They often come up with the look of the book for the words the author

writes, then decide the break down of the pages too.

I think I enjoyed the visit as much as my little D.

Gaston was their first collaboration and has been quite successful.

Peeking through the front window

at the new Antoinette.

I loved it and know your little ones would love it too.

If you are ever in my neighborhood, the Green Bean Books

is the perfect place to find a gift of a book for someone special in your life.

I know my grandson looks forward to each venture we take to the Green Bean Books.
