For Families
Enjoy a special Saturday Stories with a visit from children’s author-illustrator Jess Hannigan as she reads her fun new book, The Cow in the Dark at Night. Enjoy interactive fun with themed activities, songs, and crafts—plus you'll have a chance to meet Jess, purchase a copy of the book, and have it signed.
Presented in partnership with Words Worth Books.
This is a drop-in event for families with children of all ages.
Early Learning Programs for young children at WPL are based on literacy research and include tips and information for parents and caregivers. Your active participation in these programs will maximize the experience for you and your child.
Jess Hannigan is the author and illustrator of picture books, including Spider in the Well and The Bear Out There. She also works in editorial art, amongst other things, and considers herself an all-purpose illustrator. Some say she has the heart of a designer and the sensibility of a professional clown. She lives in Hamilton, Ontario.
A curious cow sets herself loose upon the sleeping world, ready to explore all the nighttime has to offer. Covertly joined by a protective and dubious barn cat, our cow cheerfully (and cluelessly) encounters a cast of somewhat unsavory nocturnal characters during her travels. She must return to the barn before dawn, but, due to an intergalactic turn of events, she and her fuzzy companion are soon faced with a much bigger, unexpected adventure.
