Lulu and the Others

New York Times bestselling author and wildlife expert ELIOT SCHREFER is joining us for storytime with his picture book debut: Lulu and the Others.

It's an amazing read based on the true story of a bonobo raised by a human family, whom Eliot met while doing research in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. With a strong emotional lesson as well as crucial environmental messages at its center, it's a read that you and your young ones just can't miss! Come by for what promises to be a fantastic morning.
