SUMMARY:Author Reading with Gail Kuhnlein @ Coreander's Children's Bookshoppe
DESCRIPTION:Into the Thicket \nInspired by a true story\, Into the Thicket begins with the moment the author’s young son discovered an injured baby rabbit — an encounter that sparked a heartfelt journey of care and connection. \nThis tender picture book follows a boy and the rabbit he hopes to help\, gently exploring themes of compassion\, courage\, love\, and the bittersweet beauty of letting go. It invites young readers to develop empathy and a deeper appreciation for the natural world\, showing how even the smallest acts of kindness can ripple through a great\, big world. \nFeaturing stunning watercolor illustrations by acclaimed Ann Arbor artist John Megahan\, Into the Thicket is a story families will return to again and again. \nAuthor Gail Kuhnlein \nGail Kuhnlein is “as happy as a lark” to publish her first children’s picture book. She’s been writing stories since she was young. She’s just as excited about her new picture book\, Into the Thicket. \nGail majored in journalism and public relations at Michigan State University. She worked in the field for over 30 years\, most recently at the University of Michigan’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. People she met at UM were instrumental in publishing her picture books\, a long-awaited dream come true. \nShe savors life with her husband\, Tim\, just outside Ann Arbor\, Michigan. They adore their two adult sons\, Davey and Trevor and bunk with the sweetest kitties in the galaxy \nTickets \nThis is a free event requiring a ticket to hold your place. The program will last approximately 30 minutes and is limited to 15 guests. 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 GUEST for children 6 months and older\, Parents/guardians do not need a ticket. We ask that a maximum of two guests accompany the child/children in each group. \nImage Source

SUMMARY:HORSE: A Game for Everyone @ 1001 Woodward
DESCRIPTION:Library Street Collective is excited to announce HORSE: A Game for Everyone by artist Tyrrell Winston\, supported by Bedrock Detroit. Opening to the public on August 1\, 2025\, this dynamic installation transforms the boundaries between sport\, art\, and community participation. \nHORSE reimagines the basketball court as a site of creativity\, memory\, and public engagement. Inspired by Winston’s signature use of found and culturally charged materials\, this interactive experience invites visitors to engage with art through motion\, reflection\, and play. Central to the installation is a sculptural “hoop tree” that reimagines the familiar form of the basketball hoop into a sprawling\, seven-armed tree supporting 21 hoops at varying heights\, angles\, and orientations. Part monument\, part playground\, the work invites direct engagement\, encouraging visitors to step into the space\, pick up a ball\, and play. \nImage Source
