Location
The Eric Carle Museum (125 W Bay Rd, Amherst, MA 01002, Amherst MA)
Author/illustrator, husband/wife duo Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr will be visiting The Carle as part of their Busload of Books Tour, a national literacy project in which they and their four kids will visit high-need elementary schools in all 50 states (plus DC), doing presentations on creativity and handing out 25,000 free books—while living and traveling in a converted school bus. Join Robbi and Matthew for a presentation and reading of Everywhere, Wonder, their picture book about noticing the world and using experience to tell one’s own stories. They’ll also describe their creative process, talk about their travels, and give tours of their tiny home school bus.
