This program is free and open to the public.

 

According to a press release: 

 

In their newest book, "Good Morning, Farm Animals: An Active Play Storybook," mother/daughter team Ruth and Whitney Sanderson encourage children to move, moo, and stretch along with the characters in the book as they mimic the movements of farm animal friends in the morning. Can they frolic like a lamb? Balance like a goat? At this program, artist Ruth Sanderson will read the book as she projects the illustrations on a screen. The audience is encouraged to imitate the sounds and movements of the animals they see for a fun-filled active story-time, followed by a craft. Books will be available for purchase and signing courtesy of The Bookstore in Lenox.

 

Over her long and award-winning career, Ruth Sanderson has illustrated over 90 books for children of all ages. Her collection of titles include her numerous fairytale retellings, "Mother Goose and Friends," and "A Storm of Horses: The Story of Artist Rosa Bonheur." She collaborated with her daughter Whitney Sanderson on five titles in the Horse Diaries chapter book series from Random House, as well as on "Good Morning, Farm Animals" and "Good Night, Farm Animals." 

 

Ruth lives in Western Massachusetts with her family and two cats.
