The northern lights dance, snow blankets the ground; it’s the Christmas season—so the Book Flood begins! Celebrate the launch of The Christmas Book Flood, the new seasonal picture book by local author, Emily Kilgore!

This lovely and lyrical picture book, based on a real Icelandic tradition, brings all the sparkle and anticipation of Christmas—and the joys of reading—to the page. Join Emily Kilgore and your friends at Red Balloon for a cozy evening's reading of what's sure to be a holiday hit. Emily will also share about The Christmas Book Flood, this special Icelandic tradition, and take questions from the audience. After all that, there will be a good ole signing line!

To Attend: Space is limited, so a ticket is required to attend this event. You can register for a ticket through November 1, 4:30pm, and pre-order a book below. Additional books will be available for purchase the night of the event.
