About the Event:

Join us as we welcome longtime friend, Reading neighbor, and author Monica Acker to celebrate her new book, The Legend of Leo: a Dandy-Lion Tale. This laugh-out-loud picture book will have kiddos engrossed and adults enjoying along with them.

This is the tale of Leo, an ordinary dandelion…

“I beg your pardon! I am anything but ordinary. I am a dande-LION, king of all beings. Golden-maned, wise, and humble, I rule over all. See how this beast bows before me?”

“Umm, I believe that cat is simply taking a nap on you.”

“Nonsense. This wise reader knows I am magnificent. ROAR!…*GASP* Why are you laughing? Stop that laughter!”

Tailor-made for hamming it up while reading aloud, The Legend of Leo: A Dandy-Lion Tale is a silly and thought-provoking story that has fun with our collective desire to think ourselves special. Be prepared for plenty of giggles and requests to make wishes on dandelions.
