2. An Octopus Named Mom Book Signing at Village Toy Shop

Today at 10:30 a.m.:

Kathleen Flaherty, author and Jennifer Donehey, illustrator are both moms from Millis, MA. Kathleen had a dream to write a An Octopus Named Mom and she has a great story to share about how she made that dream come true. 

The perfect story for every Mom who fantasizes about having more than two arms to get everything done and also for the kids that have to learn that this is not possible! 

Both the author and illustrator will be at the store. They will read the book and then Jennifer will work with the children on creating Octodoodles. Children both young and old will enjoy this event because it is a great story to be read aloud and the older children will love meeting the author and illustrator. It will be truly inspiring to all those future artists.
