What could be better on a rainy day, not to mention more appropriate, than listening to Laura Sassi read her playful, rhyming tale of Noah in Goodnight, Ark, illustrated by Jane Chapman (Zonderkidz, a HarperCollins Company 2014), at the Financier Patisserie.
Laura’s super-adorable, pint-sized fans were thrilled when two stuffed skunks came out to greet them. They also enjoyed a craft project with animal stickers.
The Financier Patisserie, located at 35 Cedar Street in lower Manhattan, hosts children’s book events once a month. So, bring your kids for a fun read, craft, and then don’t forget to have lunch and dessert. We did and it was DE-LI-CIOUS! For more information regarding the Financier Patisserie’s events, please check out their Facebook page by clicking here. Bon Appetit!

Ooh, this is “magnifique”! Thanks so much for stopping by and then for recapturing the fun of the morning in this delightful post!
Laura, What a wonderful morning! And your fans could not have been more adorable. p.s. I must confess. I also wanted to take home the skunks. 🙂

Thanks, Robin, for this delightful recap of this morning’s special story time at the Financier Patisserie in Manhattan.
Ah – you had me at patisserie!
Cathy, moi, aussi! 🙂
Wonderful! I love Laura’s pants. I used to have some bright orange ones.
Catherine, They were super cute! 🙂
Thanks for the photos, Robin! How cool to read at a patisserie! Great, Laura!
Tina, It was lots of fun. Laura was great!
How great that you got to go see Laura, Robin! I love her book – so cute! – and it looks like all the littles enjoyed it thoroughly!
The kids both big and small had a blast! Such a great book! 😃
What a fun day out with the kids. I loved to take my daughter to book signings. You can see in the photos the children were eager to get autographs and enjoyed her reading.
The kids so enjoyed Laura’s reading. Her stuffed skunks were also quite a hit! 🙂
Oh, what fun! Would have loved to have been there…both for Laura’s reading and the yummy food…even if I didn’t have a toddler to bring with me. 😉
Thanks for sharing this very “special treat” with us, Robin 🙂 I love seeing those adorable children surrounding her and her book 🙂
The kids were super, duper adorable! It was very much a “special treat” for everyone. 🙂
Awww, look at those adorable kids! And what a beautiful (and tasty) venue. I’m so upset that I missed it. 😦 Thanks for sharing the photos! Magnifique!
Laura was great and the kids couldn’t have been more adorable. 🙂
