Fabled is thrilled to welcome Author and Illustrator Vanessa Roeder to discuss her new picture book, Narwhal vs. Kindergarten. She will be joining us for a story-time and signing on Wednesday, September 17th at 10:30AM!

About the Book:

A gentle tale from the beloved creator of The Box Turtle about a narwhal whose horn keeps getting in the way during his first week of school, until his new friends help him find just the right accommodations.

Hugo has a problem. A big, tall problem. One that refuses to go away, no matter how many hats (or donuts) he puts on his head to try and hide it. His horn is a barrier to the bus and a calamity in the classroom, and nothing Hugo tries seems make it better.

But with the help of his friends and a rousing, inclusive baseball game, Hugo learns that everyone needs something a little different to succeed and that working together is no trouble at all.
