He lives in a castle (a house), is beloved by his queen (his owner), and enjoys beauty-naps, butterberry pancakes and staying squeaky clean with a daily bubble bath. But still, Ruthie longs to explore beyond the castle walls.---Julie Fogliano is the New York Times bestselling author of And Then It’s Spring and If You Want to See a Whale and several other picture books including Just In Case You Want to Fly, When’s My Birthday, and If I Was the Sunshine.

Julie lives in the Hudson Valley with her husband and three children.Even when it’s time to put on our favorite shoes and leave the house, and even when that time turns into a tantrum where someone can’t stop screaming, or flopping on the floor, or throwing a shoe across the room, and someone is making their maddest face and everyone else is waiting . . . Even then, nothing can come between the loving bond of a mother and their child. Not even a shoe. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/rhinebeck/esmé-shapiro-and-julie-fogliano-story-and-activity-hour/100001981621040877 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, dog - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Rhinebeck - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Oblong Books [Rhinebeck] - **lat**: 41.92780250000001 - **long**: -73.9120231 - **full address**: Oblong Books [Rhinebeck], 6422 Montgomery Street, Rhinebeck, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Esmé Shapiro & Julie Fogliano Story & Activity Hour - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/0d4185211c4b6ea630646a5fc40f7d3f98e2830302e5fdbf07a5b95e70612ea4-rimg-w1200-h600-dcc1c499-gmir.jpg?v=1769603587 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Esmé Shapiro & Julie Fogliano Story & Activity Hour being held? - **A:** Esmé Shapiro & Julie Fogliano Story & Activity Hour takes place on Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm at Oblong Books [Rhinebeck], 6422 Montgomery Street, Rhinebeck, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Esmé Shapiro & Julie Fogliano Story & Activity Hour? - **A:** Esmé Shapiro & Julie Fogliano Story & Activity Hour is organized by Oblong Books. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
