Speaking Volumes

On Saturday, Jan. 23rd at 10:30 we will be hosting children's author/illustrator Jason Deeble. This special visit is part of the KiddieCAT - the Connecticut Authors Trail...for kids!

Some of you may remember the Saxton B. participating in the CAT trail this summer when we hosted two adult authors, Jessica Speart and Anne Kelleher. Well, now it’s the kids turn! 

Each Saturday, from January 9^th to March 27^th, local libraries will take turns hosting Connecticut children’s authors. Kids and families can ‘follow the trail’ and keep track of their visits by getting their KiddieCAT postcard stamped at each event. At the end of the trail prize baskets will be raffled off to people who attended events on the trail.

The trail starts tomorrow at the Janet Carlson Calvert Library in Franklin at 10 a.m. They will be hosting author J.A. Osowski, and illustrator Michael Smith, creators of The Ant with the Red Pants.  

We’re excited to have Jason Deeble here – he wrote and illustrated the book Sir Ryan’s Quest, about a young boy who uses his imagination to have adventures around his house. Jason will read his book and lead an art activity for the kids!
