Feb 17 | The Great Kite Book Launch and (When a Bully is) President Day Celebration

Free event!

Join Charnice Milton Community Bookstore for launch of our first publication! 

The Great Kite, written by CMCB volunteer Virginia Spatz, is both story and thought/art prompts, promoting imagination and community building. Works great for intergenerational discussion and engaging for readers of all ages. All purchases support literacy and book-related activities in and near DC's Ward 8, which was without a bookstore for decades. 

Our launch celebration will include reading, kite creation opportunities, and refreshments. 

In addition, celebrate "Presidents Day...When a Bully Is President" with art activities inspired by "When a Bully Is President: Truth and Creativity for Oppressive Times" from Reflection Press

Event is free of charge. All (of all ages) welcome. Copies of The Great Kite and When a Bully Is President will also be on hand for donors.
