Join MG for a three-week series where she will read aloud Bog Myrtle by Sid Sharp while listeners quietly craft. Together, we will discuss the book, celebrate the love of nature, and making art.

Bring your nature treasures (rocks, pine cones, shells, sticks) for show & tell, your knitting/crochet/handiwork/mending to work on while we read, and/or use our art supplies.

Bog Myrtle by Sid Sharp
Brief synopsis from Annick Press: From the acclaimed author of The Wolf Suit comes another weirdly hilarious, masterfully thought-provoking, and lushly painted early reader graphic novel.

Two sisters, one stubbornly cheerful (Beatrice) and one relentlessly grumpy (Magnolia), live in a drafty old house with a family of helpful spiders. When Beatrice is gifted magic yarn from a giant forest spider obsessed with sustainability named Bog Myrtle, she and the spiders set to work knitting up a perfectly warm sweater.

But greedy Magnolia sees only the opportunity for profit, and quickly converts the old house into a magic sweater factory. The exhausted spiders are driven to strike, and Bog Myrtle is not pleased . . .
