At a time when a child’s day is filled with iPods, the Wii and 
Netflix, there’s still a moment in the evening, when a parent and child snuggle in bed and crack open a book, that technology goes out the window and one’s imagination runs wild.
To celebrate a child’s love of reading, St. Louis County Library will host six children and young adult authors in recognition of Children’s Book Week, May 13-19. Popular writers such as Ridley Pearson, Heather Brewer and Eoin Colfer, will personally lead parents and kids alike through their popular adventures and inspiring stories.
For young book lovers, award-winning local author Jennifer Ward will read to kids from her latest book, What Will Hatch? on Saturday, May 18 at 10 a.m. at the Daniel Boone Branch of the St. Louis County Library.
For this mom of one and a former teacher, What Will Hatch?, her 17th published book, is the culmination of years of hard work and a dream of a lifetime.
