Off-Site Event at J. Crew with Lucy Ruth Cummins!

A Sweetly Spooky Storytime to End October!

Join us at our local J. Crew to meet author/illustrator LUCY RUTH CUMMINS as she shares two of her spookiest picture books! These stories are perfect for Halloween, and with just days before the defrightful holiday, you won't want to miss this great event!

In Dalmartian, a visitor from outer space comes to Stephen’s yard one night. It may look like a Dalmatian, but it certainly doesn’t act like one. At first, Stephen and the visitor get off on the wrong paw. They quibble over kibble, debate sleeping arrangements, and must abandon earth dogs’ approach to bathroom breaks altogether to keep the peace. Is a shared love of bacon a strong enough foundation for this ordinary earth boy and extraordinary out-of-this-world canine to learn to live in harmony?

In Stumpkin, Stumpkin is the most handsome pumpkin on the block. He’s as orange as a traffic cone! Twice as round as a basketball! He has no bad side! He’s perfect choice for a Halloween jack-o-lantern. There’s just one problem — Stumpkin has a stump, not a stem. And no one seems to want a stemless jack-o-lantern for their window. As Halloween night approaches, more and more of his fellow pumpkins leave, but poor Stumpkin remains. Will anyone give Stumpkin his chance to shine? Now also available as a board book!

Saturday, October 26th at 3PM ET at J. Crew at 91 5th Avenue!
