The Suffern Free Library

A few days ago I took a Short Line bus to Suffern, NY. There is a wonderful library there, the Suffern Free Library.
























There, I spent a very nice afternoon reading Hey, Rabbit! and Amandina to a group of young library-goers and their parents.


All the kids were very well-behaved, especially this one, who sat completely still for the whole reading.




















Thank you so much to Barb Farrell and the other librarians who organized this extremely pleasant evening.

  1. Sometimes I wish my daughter was like that little girl on the bench. Still and quiet.

    Kidding aside, that looks like a great library!

  2. It is! And the children's room is really very large, comfortable and well-furnished.

  7. Wow, that library looks amazing. Ours is in an old warehouse building. It was the only thing they could afford that was large enough. All the voting to make a nicer building gets voted down. Oh well, I'm just happy to have a library! Your book looks really cute!

  8. Sounds like everyone had a great time. I love the little girl statue (and the joke you used about the well behaved children. I'm here from Baby Lovin' Mama's website. I love your illustration style and look forward to checking out some of your books.
