'Tis the season for the annual West Acton Holiday Stroll, sponsored by the West Acton Village Merchants Association, and we've lined up a special DOUBLE holiday-themed Saturday Story Time you won't want to miss. TWO best-selling award-winning author-illustrators will be joining us: Matt Tavares and Christopher Denise!
Matt will be reading the newest book in his beloved Dasher series of picture books, Dasher and the Polar Bear. In this all-new Christmas tale, Dasher the reindeer discovers that the only thing better than making Christmas magic is making a new friend to share it with.
Chris will be celebrating the newest installment of his best-selling Knight Owl books: Knight Owl's Little Christmas! Knight Owl and Early Bird are counting down the days until Christmas! They have many festive activities planned, such as wrapping presents, baking cookies, and singing carols. With help from good friends, and with a cup of holiday cheer, their Christmas is sure to be merry and bright.
Signed books made great holiday gifts!
