Longtime, no chat. Things have been a little crazy, both around the Odyssey and at home. For those of you who don't know, I now am also a full-time grad student, as well as a the full-time Odyssey Children's Department Manager. That means I no longer sleep and eat only one meal a day, in my car, as I drive between work and class. (That's mostly a joke. Mostly.)
Regardless, November is the Odyssey's 45th anniversary month! To celebrate, the Odyssey has some incredible authors lined up (including the unbelievable Stephen King/Richard Russo pairing this Thursday, November 6th!).
Here's the children's line-up:
Saturday, November 8th 11 AM
Storytime with Carol Weis
Author of When the Cows Got Loose!
Carol is absolutely hysterical and brings lots of cow memorabilia with her. All ages are welcome for this picture book storytime event.
Saturday, November 15th
10 AM
Costume parade led by Holly Hobbie's beloved Toot & Puddle!
(These will be costume characters.)
11 AM
Holly Hobbie - author of the Toot & Puddle series, and her newest book - Fanny
Nathaniel and Jocelyn Hobbie - author/illustrator of the Priscilla series
Saturday, November 22nd
11 AM
Storytime with Jarrett Krosoczka
Author of Punk Farm, Punk Farm on Tour, Bubblebath Pirates, Baghead, and many more!
Jarrett's unique style is fun, fresh, and engaging. All ages should come hear a story or two and maybe even watch him illustrate for you!

Hope to see you all here!
