Description
Join us to share the 2022 Pa One Book selected title, Saturday by Oge Mora. We will have a puppet pallooza and 4 creative station based learning activities that are inspired by the book. Families will be given a copy of the book to build their home libraries to enjoy again and again sponsored by the Friends of the Library. The Pa One Book is a valuable program that highlights the importance of early literacy development in preschoolers and the significance of reading early and often to children, as well as engaging them in conversation and other activities around books.

About the Book:
In this warm and tender story by the Caldecott Honor-winning creator of Thank You, Omu!, join a mother and daughter on an up-and-down journey that reminds them of what's best about Saturdays: precious time together.
Today would be special. Today would be splendid. It was Saturday! But sometimes, the best plans don't work out exactly the way you expect....
In this heartfelt and universal story, a mother and daughter look forward to their special Saturday routine together every single week. But this Saturday, one thing after another goes wrong--ruining storytime, salon time, picnic time, and the puppet show they'd been looking forward to going to all week. Mom is nearing a meltdown...until her loving daughter reminds her that being together is the most important thing of all.
Author-artist Oge Mora's highly anticipated follow up to Caldecott Honor Thank You, Omu! features the same magnificently radiant artwork and celebration of sharing so beloved in her debut picture book.
More information about the Pa One Book, and the Family Fun Guide for continued family engagement will be made available before the event at https://paonebook.powerlibrary.org/
