And for the tiny readers in your household, don’t miss S.B. Parks this Sunday when she comes to Green Apple to perform parts of her latest puppet show: Edward Wonderful.
Edward Wonderful is an original puppet show in which the table-top string puppets are created and performed by Ms. Parks, who has been creating and performing puppet shows for children and families for four years.
Here’s the puppet show “trailer” for you: From the moment he meets her, Edward Wonderful knows Myrtle doesn’t believe in magic. He knows he must prove her wrong. With a little help from Mother Nature and a contrary grasshopper, the garden she grows is undeniably magical.
The puppet show takes place on Sunday, October 11 at 11am. Admission is free, just bring your imagination!
