Kids’ Storytime With Matt Myers

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

Today, author Matt Myers joins us to read from his new picture book, Hum and Swish (Neal Porter Books). All Jamie wants is to spend some time alone at the beach and finish her art project in the sand. But everyone around keeps asking her pesky questions she doesn’t know how to answer. Jamie does her best to tune it all out and focus on her creation… until she finds a like-minded friend.

Hum and Swish Story Time with Matt Myers

Green Bean Books 1600 NE Alberta Street, Portland, OR, United States

Join us in welcoming author/illustrator Matt Myers as he reads his picture book Hum and Swish on Sunday, September 15th at 11am! In this contemplative story, Jamie is spending a day at the beach creating... well, something, she doesn't know yet. She's constantly getting interrupted so will she ever get it done? A celebration of being introverted. Some of the other books he's illustrated are The Infamous Ratsos series written by Kara LaReau and Battle Bunny written by Jon Scieszka and Mac Barnett.
