Need a dash of beauty in your life? In the mood for a great story? Ready to be enchanted? Come to Hicklebee's Wednesday, October 22 at 3:30 when Marla Frazee will be on hand to introduce her newest picture book, The Farmer & the Clown. School Library Journal ★ “... a tender look at light and shadow, the joy and comfort in companionship, the lift that laughter provides, and the friendship possible among generations (and species). Lovely.” Kirkus ★ “Frazee—a virtuoso of mood and line—takes the surly farmer through bafflement, contemplativeness and true affection. The beauty of an unexpected visit, done beautifully.” Publisher’s Weekly ★ “A gorgeously executed account of the power of companionship and compassion.”

Marla Frazee was awarded a Caldecott Honor for All the World and A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever. She is the author-illustrator of Roller coaster, Walk On!, Santa Claus the World's Number One Toy Expert, The Boss Baby, Boot & Shoe, and The Farmer and the Clown, as well as the illustrator of many other books including The Seven Silly Eaters, Stars, the NYT bestselling Clementine series, and God Got a Dog.

speaking & signing The Good-Pie Party Join us today for a good old pie party to celebrate the new book from Austin author and Caldecott Honoree Liz Garton Scanlon, The Good-Pie Party! When Posty has to move away, only one thing can comfort her and her best friends: baking pie! Bring the kids down today as we celebrate good friends, good memories and, of course, PIE!

The author of All the World and illustrator Kady MacDonald Denton stir their talents together in a mix as sweet as spiced apples in a buttery crust. Posy, Megan, and Mae have always been the best of friends -- but now Posy has to move away. Only their favorite activity can comfort the girls: baking pie! And when they realize they can host a good-pie party instead of a good-bye party, the sad situation becomes a sweet gathering for their entire community. The Good-Pie Party celebrates good friends, good memories, and the joy of the just-right good-byes.
