About the event
Join local author Samantha Cora for a reading of her debut children's picture book, "Waverly Braves the Breeze: The Story of a Galápagos Albatross" (Tra Publishing, 2024) at Taylor Prairie Elementary School Library in Cottage Grove.
Waverly’s is a unique story of how bravery, friendship, and encouragement conquer anxiety. Set in the Galápagos Islands, the rhyming picture book introduces children to unusual animals and Spanish phrases while exploring the theme of overcoming fear in order to grow. There will also be time for a Q & A session and a creative expression activity. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase.
While the book is geared toward Pre-K through 3rd graders, everyone is welcome to attend!
