Thalia Kids' Book Club Presents:

An Afternoon with Hervé Tullet

Sunday, February 5 at 1 pm

Tickets: $16 ($13 members)

The Thalia Kids' Book Club offers lively discussions between children's book creators and their fans. Each event includes a creative writing project, a discussion with the audience, and a book signing. On February 5, aspiring young artists and authors are invited to join the wildly imaginative French-born author of Press Here and Let's Play in an interactive afternoon of art and storytelling. Fellow illustrator Chris Raschka (A Ball for Daisy) will lead a conversation with Tullet.
As Children's Corner notes, "Hervé doesn't just read his books, he performs them, moving like a dancer this way and that way, to add yet another layer of fun." The event is produced in cooperation with Bank Street Bookstore. Ages 5 - 10
