Today we had local author Laura Pappas come out and read her book about bringing home Luna. Luna is boarded at Shear Heaven Alpaca Farm. If you enjoyed visiting with Casper and Luna today be sure to follow Alpaca Stories. For more fun alpaca events be sure to follow Shear Heaven Alpaca Farm. Laura has authored several books. And she even told me a secret... she is working on a book for middle aged kids! Laura is passionate about learning and teaching. And really enjoyed having the opportunity to share her book, and her knowledge today.
With each new story time I am learning new things. Including things about myself. I realize I love teaching kids how to read. I love connecting people with books. I also love connecting people with other people. I really feel that Story Time at the Park has value for the community. And the support the community brings is incredible! I have been so honored to become friends with M. J. McCluskey, Author! And today I got to introduce MJ to my sister, Ashley, who owns Allegiant Dog Walking, LLC and Willow Bridge Crossings. I'll be honest, I have big dreams of a collaboration between those two 😆. Ashley is such a great Story Teller, and I love MJ's books, and how readable they are. But that is a post for another time.
Today we had even more new faces than we had last week. But the kids and the parents all got along! There were no fights. Everyone listened to the ground rules for the alpacas. They played together on the playground, and chatted with people in line. It was an amazing turn out, over 50 KIDS!!!
