Saturday Morning Storytime: Patricia MacLachlan at the Silver Unicorn Bookstore

Newbery Medal-winning Massachusetts author Patricia MacLachlan will be in our store reading her newest picture book, The Hundred-Year Barn!

A little boy watches his family and community come together to build a grand red barn. This barn becomes his refuge and home—a place to play with friends and farm animals alike. The boy leaves and returns as a young man to help on the farm and to care for the barn again. This joyful celebration of generations of family and their tender connection to the barn, beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Kenard Pak, spins a tender and timeless story about the simple moments that make up a lifetime.

If you proudly live in one of the older homes in our area or lovingly live in one of the new-builds, this is a wonderful way to connect the kids in your life with the structures all around our communities. What a wonderful way to spend an autumn morning! Maybe you’ll be inspired to visit a local farm for apple-picking afterward!
