SUMMARY:Northshire Bookstore: Local Author Story Time
DESCRIPTION:Authors Tom Ragland and Beth Charles will share a story time ce
 lebrating their latest books for young readers!\n\nBeth Charles - Lilly’
 s Surprise Pumpkins\n\nWhen Lilly spots something leafy and green growing 
 from their compost bin she learns--Surprise --they're pumpkins growing fro
 m the mushy jack-o'-lanterns her family tossed in last fall. She takes goo
 d care of the little pumpkins all summer\, protecting them from creatures 
 who might like a nibble and checking in on their growth. And when\, finall
 y\, the pumpkins are bright orange and plump and the family has more of th
 e gourds than they can enjoy\, what's left to do but share?\n\nTom Ragland
  - The Star Grabber\n\nMeet the Star Grabber\, a remarkable creature from 
 Glimmeron\, a land filled with sparkling wonders and enchanting melodies. 
 Her mission is simple yet profound: to share light and love with those who
  feel isolated or sad. When a child's heart feels heavy\, the Star Grabber
  arrives\, whispering sweet songs that wrap around them like a cozy blanke
 t. She brings comfort and warmth\, illuminating the shadows of loneliness 
 with her radiant spirit.\n\nAs she glides through the night\, the Star Gra
 bber collects the twinkling lights of hope and joy\, weaving them into a t
 apestry of connection. Each encounter is a reminder that everyone carries 
 a little light within\, waiting to shine. Through her adventures\, childre
 n learn the importance of kindness\, empathy\, and the magic of sharing th
 eir own light with others.
