Children's Storytime and Meet-and-Greet with the Author of Rainbow Allies

Come join us for a free fun-filled storytime and a special meet-and-greet with author Nancy Churnin, who wrote the picture book Rainbow Allies. Based on real-life events, Rainbow Allies is a children's story about how a Natick, Massachusetts neighborhood rallied together around Cari and Lauri--and their dogs, Twink and Scout--to make them feel welcomed and loved again after an act of hate. Written by multi-award-winning author Nancy Churnin, this book is an inspiring introduction to allyship for young readers and changemakers.

Kids and adults will have an opportunity to listen to a read-aloud, do crafts and coloring activities, enjoy refreshments, purchase PEACE flags, purchase books, and get their books signed by the author!
