Join us in the Topeka Room (204) on Sunday, November 18, 2:00-3:00pm to hear Kansas Author Mary Ann Wittman talk about her new children’s books. The Little Christmas Tree, Muffy And The Big Pink Ball & Clemmie and the Mailman are delightful tales for children of all ages. Get a head start with a new Christmas story this year. Illustrated by Topeka artists Andy Valdivia & Dan Pasley.
The Little Christmas Tree is about a misshapen, dejected little tree who has given up hope of being selected as a Christmas tree but surprising things happen to bring the glow of the Christmas spirit. Muffy And The Big Pink Ball tells the amusing story of a little dog’s encounter with an unfamiliar object in the back yard. Muffy turns to her backyard pals to help her solve the mystery of the scary big pink ball. The second book in the “Dog Tales” series, Clemmie and the Mailman finds Clemmie sneaking out of her fenced back yard to explore the neighborhood. Find out what happens to her on her great adventure.
