Thursday, June 25th Indigo Bridge Books hosted the 80th birthday party of Eric Carle, famous artist/children's book author extraordinaire. Although Eric was not able to attend, his spirit and style were wildly in the air. It was a wonderful, excitement filled time of story reading and artistic exploration. Kate and Abbey read Eric Carle books on the big rug in the young readers area, our guests were served slices of an enormous chocolate chip cookie decorated with a Hungry Caterpillar [made by The Cookie Company], and young and old were invited to find a place at the craft table to create their own collages out of painted tissue paper---in the Eric Carle fashion. It was a lovely time and very well attended. Keep checking our events page for other fun family activities!
