Description

Space is limited. Please register in advance. Meet best-selling author Gregory Maguire, as we celebrate his newly published middle-grade novel CRESS WATERCRESS, illustrated by David Litchfield. Maguire, the creator of the incredibly popular Wicked series that inspired the Broadway musical, brings us this read-aloud and read-alone gem for all ages featuring an unforgettable cast that leaps off the page in glowing illustrations. This tender meditation on coming-of-age invites us to flourish wherever we find ourselves. Maguire’s narrative offers wry puns, rich vocabulary, and entertaining dialogue, and Litchfield’s glowing, slightly stylized, full-color illustrations present an enchanting, magical peek into this woodland world. . . . Warmhearted and utterly charming. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Who knew that rabbits and squirrels had so much to teach us about both the hard and tender times of life? Gregory Maguire, that’s who. Cress Watercress is a clear-eyed lesson in picking up and moving forward, living with unanswered questions, and making new friends. I will recommend this beautifully written (and perfectly illustrated!) book to everyone. —Ann Patchett, New York Times best-selling author of The Dutch House See less
