Event Postponed: Date TBD

Join the Hubbard Memorial Library in Ludlow on for a storytime with Nancy Tupper Ling, author of Hearts in My Pocket. A craft will follow storytime and kids will have the chance to decorate their own pocket to store hopes, dreams, and messages of encouragement.

For fans of The Invisible String, Hearts in My Pocket is an uplifting and lyrical story about a young girl who learns to navigate her family’s divorce. Leilah misses the time when her mom and dad were together, until one day she realizes that love is all around her, and the love her parents share for her will always stay the same.

​​This Mass Kids Lit Fest event is presented in partnership with the Massachusetts Center for the Book. For a full schedule, please visit https://www.makidslitfest.org/.
