THE IHEARDS Storytime Release Party!

Have you heard? Red Balloon is having an in-person celebration with local author Emily Kilgore in honor of her newest picture book, The Iheards

In this timely, back-to-school story from the author/illustrator team who brought you The Whatifs, Mason is constantly gossiping about everyone. Because of this, the Iheards love him. They sneak up to him and whisper all kinds of rumors in his ear: real things or pretend, innocent or mean. Join us at Red Balloon for an evening storytime with Emily as she reads from and talks all about The IheardsThe reading will be followed by a Q&A and signing line. Attendees are also welcome to very special Iheard stickers and themed treats!

You can register for a ticket through September 7, 4:30pm, and pre-order a book below. Additional books will be available for purchase the night of the event. Face coverings are required of all guests for the duration of this event, and food and drink are not allowed.
