Professional Development: Letters to the Future
Guest artist/author Lea Redmond will be joining us for a hands-on mini workshop. She will guide us through writing thoughtful “letters to our future selves” (with children’s literature in mind!). But first, we’ll craft our own envelopes from National Geographic magazines and fill their corners with vintage postage stamps from Lea’s stash.
Lea Redmond seeks the extraordinary hiding in the ordinary and wants to share it with you. She makes things, books, and activities that invite humans of all ages to be curious, playful, and kind. Lea is the author of Knit The Sky, Wonder Hunt, and the bestselling Letters to My… series of keepsake journals.
We will also share our Distinguished books reviewed this month, and have our booksale. Bring your checkbook or cash and boxes/totebags for the booksale!
Members who write our reviews can also pick up new books that are to be reviewed!
