Weather permitting, we will meet on the lawn behind Lapham Community Center. (We’ll move indoors if necessary.) Ideal for preschoolers, elementary kids, and their families.

Valerie Bolling has been an educator in Greenwich for almost 30 years, and her debut picture book, LET’S DANCE!, was published in March 2020 and won SCBWI’s Crystal Kite Award in 2021. Since her book was released a week before the pandemic shutdown, she has been engaged in numerous virtual storytimes and author panels. Sharing her books with children and inspiring them to write their own stories brings Valerie immense joy! This year she’s excited to welcome TOGETHER WE RIDE in April and RIDE, ROLL, RUN: TIME FOR FUN! in October, and she has six more books on the way in 2023 and 2024. Valerie and her husband live in Stamford and enjoy traveling, hiking, reading, going to the theater, and dancing.
