SUMMARY:Story Time with Chris Van Dusen
DESCRIPTION:A new book by Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen is a cause for celebration. And we WILL be celebrating when Chris Van Dusen\, one of our favorite picture book author/illustrators\, visits Kepler’s on April 6. \nEvery porcine wonder was once a piglet – discover Mercy Watson’s delightful origin story in A Piglet Named Mercy. an endearing picture-book prequel to the beloved New York Times best-selling Mercy Watson series. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Van Dusen is the author-illustrator of many books for young readers\, including The Circus Ship\, If I Built a House\, If I Built a Car\, Down to the Sea with Mr Magee and Hattie & Hudson\, and the illustrator of the Mercy Watson and Deckawoo Drive series. \nMr. Watson and Mrs. Watson live ordinary lives. Sometimes their lives feel a bit too ordinary. Sometimes they wish something different would happen. And one day it does\, when someone unpredictable finds her way to their front door. In a delightful origin story for the star of the Mercy Watson series\, a tiny piglet brings love (and chaos) to Deckawoo Drive — and the Watsons’ lives will never be the same. \nJoin us and celebrate the joy of a new arrival by a longtime favorite author.
