Highlighting Local:
Author Avery G
You might recognize me as the Community Director of LLN GSO - but I am also Avery Motivated Mother and a newly published children's book author!
I am thrilled to be able to showcase my first book to this community ahead of the holidays! Gifting a book never goes out of style and is always intentional! Just in time for longer days at home, my debut read-aloud picture book encourages creative & independent play inside!
When the weather doesn’t allow for outside play, two young brothers find at-home entertainment in other ways. Told in rhyming verse and brought to life with whimsical illustrations, this story follows two brothers who transform a stormy day into resourceful & playful adventures inside their home. Inspired by my own children and real-life scenarios, the book encourages creativity, positive sibling connection, and independent screen-free play. Come along for the ride as these siblings get creative to enjoy their day inside! Spark your imagination and inspire creativity as you see the world through the eyes of Bubs & Bubby! The perfect book for family, friends, caregivers, educators, librarians and anyone special in your life!
