Acree Macam & Natalie Nelson present The King of Birds

The children’s picture book, The King of the Birds, is inspired by the life of Flannery O’Connor. Beautiful illustrations fill this book based on the acclaimed Southern fiction writer, who kept fowl as a child and trained a hen to walk backward. The reviewer notes that O’Connor’s work “proved that everybody—even preachers and grandmothers—needs to be forgiven.” Literary-minded adults will enjoy this as much as the kids!

Reading, coloring, crown-making, & general merriment! Join Acree Macam & Natalie Nelson for this morning of fun!
