SUMMARY:Author Sandra Cox @ Coreander's Children's Bookshoppe
DESCRIPTION:Author Sandra Cox \nCome join us for a fun event at Coreander’s Children’s Bookshoppe! Meet local author Sandra Cox as she reads a book in the Coreander’s theater. A book signing will follow! \nAbout the book:\nPenny is a penguin with autism. She is sensitive to light and sounds. She doesn’t speak much but she enjoys singing. She stims (flaps her wings) when she’s excited. Her colony is frustrated with her differences. They want her to behave like all the other penguins. One night\, Penny’s sensitivities to the world around her let her know that something has changed. She follows her feelings and leads her colony to the Southern Lights. Her colony learns to accept Penny just the way she is. \nAuthor Bio:\nSandra Cox has been a writer since she was old enough to hold a pen. Sandra is the author of the series “The Everyday Adventures of Little-Bit and Me-Too.” This series is based on the adventures she shared with her children when they were little. It includes Little-Bit and Me-Too Get a Dog and The Mystery of the Missing Moose. She is also the author of Charlie’s Rock Garden. Sandra loves working with children of all ages and abilities. Sandra lives in Michigan with her husband\, three children and two dogs. \nThis is a free event that needs a ticket to hold your place. An adult needs to attend with children ages 8 and under. The program will last approximately 30 minutes and is limited to 12 children and their adult caregiver(s). We ask that if you are unable to attend you return your spot on Eventbrite so that someone else can use it. Please only reserve ONE TICKET PER CHILD. Adults DO NOT need a ticket. \nImage Source
