On Saturday, December 17th, 11am, Bethel’s Byrd’s Books welcomes the illustrator of the Magic Bus series and the ever-popular Jamberry, Bruce Degan, for a book signing of his newest book, Scoot: A Tiny New York Bird with a Great Big Idea.
With over 40 children’s books to his credit, Degan now visualizes the delightful story, written by Fran Manushkin, of a house sparrow who helps other birds migrate through the confusing skyline of New York City.
Inspired by the real danger skyscrapers pose to urban wildlife, Fran Manushkin, author of the beloved Katie Woo series and member the New York Audubon Society, has crafted an uplifting tale with an important urban ecological message, while Degen captures the dazzling views and lively energy of the city in vibrant gouache. Scoot tells a classic New York City story from the perspective of the city’s most overlooked residents with wonder and heart. You can hold your copy of Scoot for signing by going to ByrdsBooks.com
Holiday hours are Mondays through Saturdays 10:00am to 6:00pm, Thursday’s 10:00am to 8:00pm, and Sundays 12:00 noon to 4:00pm.
