Christopher Silas Neal presents Everyone

Everyone cries, everyone laughs, everyone sings—everyone. In his authorial debut Everyone, our Brooklyn neighbor and acclaimed illustrator Christopher Silas Neal invites young readers to explore how we feel what we feel, and how everyone else feels it, too. From the animals in the woods to the neighbors in their homes nearby, everyone has feelings and shares them in this whimsical story. Vivid, childlike art in a limited palette conveys a full spectrum of emotion. Young children easily frustrated by a popped balloon or overjoyed by a sky full of stars will relish this simple exploration of empathy. Following the story time, Chris will put on a drawing demo and present a craft project where kids will use custom made stamps and crayons to create unique and expressive faces. Ages 3 to 8.
