Come by anytime to meet the acclaimed author and illustrator of Mole Music, Pigs a Plenty, Pigs Galore, Sisters, Brothers, A Bug, a Boy, and a Bear, Edward and the Pirates, and many, many more! 

We will serve refreshments, have music by classical guitarist Mitch Shuldman, give away Truffle swag, fill the room with original artwork from Truffle, host an author talk with questions and answers by the author, and G.Willikers will be there with books for sale and signing.

This is the perfect way for kids of all ages to begin summer, so drop in to meet David McPhail and celebrate the release of Truffle: A Dog and Cat Story!
