Virtual Event: Writing Humor for Kids
Saturday, July 24 at 11am Pacific

Missed the live panel? Watch the recording here.

Where do authors find inspiration for funny situations and characters? How do they test jokes to make sure they're landing with kids? And what are the funniest books they read growing up?

Join Linden Tree Books on Saturday, July 24, at 11am Pacific for a special virtual panel with four fantastic middle grade authors as they discuss how to write humor for kids. The panelists are:

• Cliff Burke (An Occasionally Happy Family)
• Lisa Moore Ramée (A Good Kind of Trouble, Something to Say)
• Mae Respicio (How to Win a Slime War)
• Sam Subity (The Last Shadow Warrior)

This panel will be perfect for middle grade readers who love funny books, as well as adults interested in writing for kids.

Outdoor Storytimes: Sundays at 10:30am

In-person storytime is back! Join us every Sunday morning at 10:30am in front of the store as Mary Sheila shares some of our favorite read-alouds. (Grab a tasty pastry from our neighbors at Manresa while your kids enjoy the stories!) All storytimes feature picture books and are appropriate for all ages.
