Celebrate seasonal events with Phoenix Books and illustrator Amy Huntington

Saturday, April 29, 11 a.m.—SATURDAY—Phoenix Books Rutland invites young book lovers to celebrate National Poetry Month, Independent Bookstore Day, and the start of farmer’s market season with Amy Huntington, illustrator of the new book “Fresh-Picked Poetry,” Saturday, April 29 at 11 a.m.

This collection of poems takes young readers to a day at an urban farmers’ market. Who to see, what to eat, and how produce is grown—it’s all so exciting, fresh, and delicious. Readers are invited to peruse the stands and inspect vendors’ wares with poems like “Farmer Greg’s Free-Range Eggs,” “Summer Checklist,” and “Necessary Mess.” Bright and vibrant, this is the perfect guide for little ones to take with them on marketing day to inspire literacy and healthy eating.

This event is free and open to the public. Phoenix Books Rutland is located at 2 Center St. in downtown Rutland, Vermont. Copies of “Fresh-Picked Poetry” will be available for attendees to purchase and have signed.

For more information, call 802-855-8078 or visit phoenixbooks.biz.
