Aaron Slater, Illustrator by Andrea Beaty

There’s a new book in The Questioneers picture book series!  Get ready to meet Aaron, a boy who loves to draw – and struggles to read.  The author says this latest story is inspired by the book’s illustrator David Roberts, who is dyslexic.  And, super-cool, it is printed with a dyslexia-friendly font!

Aaron Slater, Illustrator by Andrea Beaty (11/02/21)
 Aaron Slater loves listening to stories and dreams of one day writing them himself. But when it comes to reading, the letters just look like squiggles to him, and it soon becomes clear he struggles more than his peers. When his teacher asks each child in the class to write a story, Aaron can’t get a single word down. He is sure his dream of being a storyteller is out of reach . . . until inspiration strikes, and Aaron finds a way to spin a tale in a way that is uniquely his. 

ANOTHER AMAZING PICTURE BOOK OUT THIS WEEK!
Our Table by Peter H. Reynolds (11/02/21)
Violet longs for the time when her family was connected: before life, distractions, and technology pulled them all away from each other. They used to gather at the table, with food and love, to make memories, share their lives, and revel in time spent together. But now her family has been drifting apart, and with nobody to gather around it, the table grows smaller and smaller.  Can Violet remind her family of the warmth of time spent together, and gather around the table once more?
