Children's Author Read Aloud: Pickles the Mermaid
Join local author, Laura Strachan, for an immersive read aloud of her newest book, Pickles the Mermaid, and participate in a fun craft afterwards.
Laura is a retired educator, wife, mom, "Lola" and now author! Larua obtained her Master of Education from the University of Cincinnati, and teaching for almost two decades set the stage for her latest project - publishing her debut children's book, Pickles the Mermaid. A recent move to the beautiful hills of Pennsboro, West Virginia from Cincinnati, Ohio (where she was born and raised) allows her more time in nature with her retired sled dogs, Mitsral and Sila. She also finds inspiration in yoga, hiking, tennis, and travel. She believes there is magic in this story, but her hope if for children and adults alike to remember that the true magic within all of us is to believe in ourselves!
