Books can be pre-ordered at the time of registration or purchased at the event. Pre-ordered books will be available for pick up at the event at Will Call. About The Eyes and the Impossible: A wild, lyrical, hilarious and beautiful story of a wild dog living and surviving in an urban park Johannes, a free dog, lives in a park hemmed in on three sides by dense human neighborhoods, and on one side by the ocean. His job is to be the Eyes--to see everything that happens within the park and report to the park's elders, three ancient bison who ensure the Equilibrium. His friends--a stalwart seagull, a mordant raccoon, a one-eyed squirrel, and a pelican who can read--work with him as the Assistant Eyes, observing the humans and other animals who share the park and making sure everything is in balance. But changes are afoot. More humans, including Trouble Travelers, arrive in the park. A new building, containing mysterious and hypnotic rectangles, goes up. And then there are the goats--an actual boatload of goats--who appear, along with a shocking revelation that changes Johannes' view of the world. Readers will thrill to Johannes's inimitable and wonderful voice, and will gorge on this unforgettable story of friendship, beauty, liberation, and running very, very fast. About the author: Dave Eggers is the author of many books, including The Eyes and the Impossible, The Every, The Circle, The Monk of Mokha, and the National Book Award finalist A Hologram for the King, as well as numerous books for young readers, including Her Right Foot, Faraway Things, and The Lifters.

Buzz on over to little shop for a very special evening storytime event with author Susan Edwards Richmond and Great Southeast Pollinator Census coordinator Becky Griffin! Susan will be reading her new picture book, The Great Pollinator Count , talking all things bugs/birds/bats with Becky, and doing a themed activity with all the wee readers! Bee sure to join us for what's sure to be a super fun evening! See below for more info: Tickets: Admission: $0 This event is free to attend! We just ask that everyone who plans on coming please have a free admission ticket to help us keep a headcount. Pre-Order The Great Pollinator Count: $18.99 You must purchase a copy of the book from Little Shop in order to enter the signing line. About the Book: Today Mellie and her friends are excited to participate in The Great Pollinator Count. Everyone is hoping that the school garden will attract even more pollinators than they counted last year. Mellie and her friend Sylvie invite Jason, a new kid in their class, to come along. When Jason surprises them by showing up for the count, they find out that he is not at all interested in counting icky bugs. Mellie is unprepared when Ms. Bombus, their teacher, assigns her to be Jason’s partner. Making the best of an awkward situation, Mellie tries to show Jason how to look for honeybees, butterflies, and other insect pollinators among the lantana and bee balm plants. He hangs back at first, still not convinced he wants to be that close to these buzzy insects, but it isn’t long before he is looking for pollinators on his own. By the time the whistle blows to end the count, both kids have learned a lot about pollinators and discovered the rewards of teamwork in community science. Young readers can count along with Mellie and Jason as they record each insect that lands on a flower and list them on the sidebar tally sheets. When Ms. Bombus finally calls “Time’s up,” readers will be ready to join a pollinator count in their own community! Stephanie Fizer Coleman’s charming illustrations give readers a “bug’s eye” view of the pollination counting process. In the back matter, the author provides a detailed glossary, resources, and information about America’s largest regional pollinator count. About the Author and Guest: Susan Edwards Richmond is the award-winning author of Night Owl Night and the community science adventures Bioblitz! Counting Critters and Bird Count . Night Owl Night is a Massachusetts Book Award Honor Title and a Bank Street College of Education Best Children’s Book of the Year.
