Waxing with Words

Families are invited to wander into the tender world of The Duck and the Darklings with author Glenda Millard. In this story of hope, and small acts of kindness, Glenda will guide young listeners through the way carefully chosen words can warm a page, brighten a moment, and help a story find its heart.

Children will hear how she gathers words that feel soft, surprising, or full of promise, and they’ll be encouraged to help imagine new ones—just as Peterboy and his Grandpapa did. Together, families will explore how a single word can shift a feeling, deepen a scene, or make a story glow a little brighter.

Suitable children 5 to 12 years of age.
