Cannon's Crash Course Storytime

With Mon Trice
| 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. | Neighborhood Reads Back Yard

Cannon is eager to ride his new bike, but there is just one problem. He doesn’t know how! Impatient for help, Cannon decides to teach himself. When one misstep followed by another leads to disaster, Cannon feels defeated. That is until he finds the sweet encouragement he needs from the most unlikely person. Come hear the whole story as children’s book author, Mon Trice, expressively reads aloud from her book Cannon’s Crash Course. Illustrations by visual artist Cbabi Bayoc. This program will be introduced by Julius B Anthony, founder of St. Louis Black Authors of Children’s Literature.
