About the Event
Join us for a special story time celebrating Stephanie Wildman's Breath by Breath! Wildman will be joined by fellow local children's book author, Emma Bland Smith (Claude, The Gardener of Alcatraz)! We will have special activities to celebrate the return of Wildman's beloved characters, Flor and Roberto.
About Breath by Breath
In this bedtime story, twins Flor and Roberto wonder how they can possibly go on an adventure at the same time as they go to sleep. Big brother Luis guides them in an exercise through their bodies, from the top of their heads to the tips of their toes. Following the gentle inhale and exhale of their breath, Flor and Roberto find love and calm inside and all around them as they drift off to sleep. Bonus content provides direction for mapping your own body scan.
