SUMMARY:Storytime: Kat Chen
DESCRIPTION:Featured writers: Kat Chen\nPicture book author Kat Chen leads an interactive storytime and reads her books from The Playdate series. The Playdate series invites young readers to take part in a playdate activity of their choice, thereby empowering them with autonomy and validation. The picnic playdate models balanced and shared play, creating a positive experience that will provide readers with a reference for what caring and considered friendship looks like. Books include: Play with Me; Play Outside with Me; and Play Games with Me.\n🖊️Kat will sign books in the Children’s Library following the conclusion of her program.\nFULL SCHEDULE ( https://americanwritersmuseum.org/american-writers-festival/schedule/ )\nAbout the writers:\nKAT CHEN is a kid at heart. A USA Today and Amazon bestseller of books for grownups, she recently became a grateful, gleeful grandmother. “Nothing sparks my imagination as much as playing with a toddler. Especially if I don’t have to worry about diapers, nutrition, or sleep schedules. I get to do the fun stuff.” By that, she means conversation, crayons, and crawling all over the playroom. Then she’s the one who needs a nap whether or not the child does.\nBooks by these writers:\n\nPlay with Me\nby Kat Chen\nMany toddlers and preschoolers consistently ask for someone to play with them, and this book provides just that for the quieter moments of the day. Simple language and gentle questions will help children develop their social skills by practicing conversations, all while engaging them in fun and familiar topics.\n
