LITERATURE + LECTURES

Wednesday, February 23, at 10:00 a.m. Blue Willow Bookshop presents Special Storytime with Barney Saltzberg. Barney Saltzberg will present a special storytime featuring his newest book, Beautiful Oops.

Barney Saltzberg, the effervescent spirit behind Good Egg, offers a one-of-a-kind interactive book that shows young readers how every mistake is an opportunity to make something beautiful. A singular work of imagination, creativity, and paper engineering, Beautiful Oops! is filled with pop-ups, lift-the-flaps, tears, holes, overlays, bends, smudges, and even an accordion “telescope”—each demonstrating the magical transformation from blunder to wonder.

Barney Saltzberg is the author of more than 30 books for children, including the bestselling Touch and Feel Kisses series with over 800,000 copies in print. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, two dogs, and a pond full of fish.

This event is free and open to the public. In order to meet Barney Saltzberg for book personalization, you must purchase Beautiful Oops from Blue Willow Bookshop.

A limited number of autographed copies of Barney’s books will be available for purchase after the event. If you cannot attend the event, but would like a personalized copy of his book, please call us at (281) 497-8675.
