Destination? The almond orchards of California, where millions of blossoms are waiting.Seven-year-old Joey J isn’t just along for the ride. She’s got work to do. With Uncle Mike and expert driver José, she races through pit stops to keep the bees from flying away, keeps them cool under the blazing sun, and holds her breath at the final inspection site.Because Joey J knows one thing for sure: These bees matter. They’re part of an expansive network of commercial honeybees crisscrossing the country to pollinate food for people all over the world.After four long days, the team arrives at the orchards. As her bees fill the sky, Joey J can’t help but wonder—do they have any idea how important they are?With the lyricism and family relationships of favorites like WATERCRESS, this stunning debut sheds light on a little-known piece of our world’s food supply and celebrates the magnificent honeybee. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/f86e3170-8538-11f1-abda-dfea10be995e-rimg-w709-h740-dceb9294-gmir.jpg I’m Shanna (rhymes with banana) Upchurch, and I write picture books and middle grade novels. I grew up in rural Illinois, but now I call Texas home. My books feature brave kids, awesome animals, and world-ending plots with big-hearted journeys. When I’m not writing, you can find me wrangling my five feral kids, hanging with honeybees in my apiary, digging up potatoes in the garden, or trying to keep my goats from climbing on the car (again). If you’re a curious person or you’ve ever felt a little different or you’ve seen how scared and brave are two sides of the same coin, you’ll be right at home in my stories. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/grapevine/an-afternoon-with-shanna-upchurch/100001991785537159 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Kids, literary-art, Sports, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Books-A-Million - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 23.92, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Grapevine - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: Books-A-Million - **lat**: 32.9677814 - **long**: -97.042293 - **full address**: Books-A-Million, 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, Grapevine, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Afternoon with Shanna Upchurch - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/83a6760f478753b6a9f5fd8fe3d1a537091c9c93bce06de183fa24beed44277b-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1781572583 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Afternoon with Shanna Upchurch being held? - **A:** An Afternoon with Shanna Upchurch takes place on Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 25 Jul, 2026 at 01:00 pm at Books-A-Million, 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, Grapevine, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Afternoon with Shanna Upchurch? - **A:** An Afternoon with Shanna Upchurch is organized by Books-A-Million. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Books-A-Million's events? - **A:** Books-A-Million has 128+ followers on AllEvents, reflecting a trusted and active community of event-goers who follow their events.
