Books & Cooks: Family Wellness Saturday!

Join us in a family wellness event celebrating Black History Month with the local author of Princess of Picky Eating, Stacey Woodson, MS, RD, LDN. Stacey will lead a read-aloud and share meaningful insights as the author and as a dietitian. In addition to our storytime, we will have family-friendly tastes, mindfulness, art, and movement time together. This gathering is recommended for ages 5 through 12 and their caregivers.

Tickets include a Princess of Picky Eating activity book and are available on a sliding scale, with a recommended donation of $20 per family.

We have limited tickets available to ensure a physically distanced and safe event. If unable to attend after registering, please contact kitchen@freelibrary.org to make your space available for another family.
