Lo mismo que tú / The Same as You
Spanish Picture Book
“Lo Mismo Que Tu” by Karl Newson is an joyous book about opposites and being different and about the things that make us the same with engaging illustrations by Kate Hindley. Perfect for the youngest among us.
“Nano” by Dr. Jess Wade
“Nano” by Dr. Jess Wade focuses on the science of the very, very small. Whatever you are thinking, think even smaller. Much, much smaller. Then read “Nano” and be fascinated.
Dr. Seuss Artifact
Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss. This artwork, featured in the Children’s Library, is unique in that it juxtaposes an early illustrated draft with the final product of a page in the famous book “The Cat in the Hat.”
March 2 kicks off “Read Across America” and what better way to celebrate than to explore the Children’s Library. We have charming Dr. Seuss artifacts including this original sketch and final artwork for the beloved book, “The Cat in the Hat.”
We also have “Green Eggs and Ham’ artwork and sculptures of The Carbonic Walrus, Gimlet Fish, and Turtle-Necked Sea Turtle. Great fun!
How Does Water Matter in the West?
with Heather Hansman
Heather Hansman is a freelance writer and editor who writes about a range of topics, from butchers to birth control, though most of what she covers happens outside. She is interested in the intersection of science, adventure, and culture and is the environmental columnist for Outside online. She also writes for The Guardian, Sierra, and The New York Times.
Heather’s first book, Downriver: Into the Future of Water in the West, was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2019. It details her trip down the length of the Green River and the water system in the Western U.S. Her second book, Powder Days: Ski Bums, Ski Towns, and the Future of Chasing Snow, was released in November 2021 and is about the fantasy of living the ski bum dream, and why it’s not always as dreamy as it seems. Heather lives in Seattle.
Presented in partnership with the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference.
