Storytime at Letterpress PLAY with Guest Author Susan Johnston Taylor

In September 2024, Letterpress PLAY hosted a special storytime event featuring the talented author Susan Johnston Taylor. I had the pleasure of organizing this event, knowing her enchanting debut children’s storybook, Animals in Surprising Shades, would be a perfect fit for our audience. As a full-time freelance writer based in Austin, Susan captivated our young guests with her delightful collection of poems, which explores the fascinating creatures that inhabit our planet through vibrant illustrations. Her engaging storytelling style not only sparked imagination but also fostered a love for reading among children, making the event a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.
