🙀Something strange is happening in the small town of Tosola… the community garden’s been ransacked, flowers are turning to stone, and it’s time to investigate! 🔎

Join game designers Karl Kim & Julie Puech of @redplusbluestories for an interactive storytime playing the first chapter of their new narrative game, The Mysteries of Tosola.

Kids will explore a fantasy world inspired by Pacific Northwest nature, learning about native flowers and mushroom identification through a unique cross-media story told with cards, comics, and augmented reality!

📅 Saturday, October 24
🕐 1:00 – 2:00 PM
📍 Kinder Books
🎨 Ages 7–11
💵 $5 per child (includes a $5 Kinder Books gift card)

I am excited to be taking part once again in this year’s New West Culture Crawl, where I will be hosting a fun, hands-on crow collage art workshop at @kinderbooks2 on October 4th.

Come join me for a creative afternoon as we make our own unique collages. Using a mix of papers, fabrics, and found materials, we will cut, tear, layer, and glue our way to some wonderfully unique crow art…or any of the crows, ravens or rooks of the Corvid family, for all you naturalists out there. Whether you are a seasoned artist or simply looking to try something new, everyone is welcome to join in the fun

Bring your imagination and join me for some Caaaw-Caaaw-Cultural Crawl creativity. I can’t wait to see what you create.

And that’s not all. Artist June Hunter, whose Crows & Ravens photography exhibition will be on display at Kinder Books throughout October, will also be there for a special Meet-the-Artist opportunity.

📍 Where: Kinder Books, New West River Market 
📅 When: Sunday, October 4th

✂️ Art Workshop: 1 PM 
📸 Meet-the-Artist: 11 AM – 4 PM

We’re open this Wednesday, September 30, from 11 AM–5 PM.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an opportunity to listen, learn, and make space for important conversations about the history and lasting impacts of residential schools.

At Kinder Books, we believe books can be one way to learn, listen and begin these conversations with care and respect.

If you’re looking for a quiet place to browse, read, or find resources for continuing these conversations with the children and families in your life, we welcome you to visit us. 📚🌱 taken in Kinder Books by @kinderbooks2
