Storytime and book signing with author kendra Horn

BRACE BOOKS, 2205 N. 14TH ST.
11AM
Join us Saturday, August 6th at 11 AM for a story time and book signing by Kenda Henthorn! She will be reading her new book Baa, Baa, Tap Sheep and signing copies for those that wish to purchase! 
Can’t make it the signing? Call and reserve your copy today, and we will get it signed for you. We will then give you a call when it’s ready to be picked up. 
Baa, Baa Tap Sheep is a picture book about a trio of tired tots that are settling into bed for the night. The sheep who should be helping them count down to slumber kick up their hooves instead in an energetic dance performance. Starting with one little lamb and counting up to 10, these "sleep" sheep tap, waltz, tango, and even boogie as they get their nighttime groove on. But finally, after their energy is danced out, nap sheep lull everyone to sleep. 
This book makes the perfect bed time storybook.
