Details

Bring the kids and enjoy the stories of Lorna Lovell Stallman, including the launch of her newest book, Broom-tastrophe.
The big night is here. It’s Halloween and Witch One is set to be crowned Queen of the Ball. But goshnagit and snarl! Wouldn’t you know it. Her eye starts to twitch, and it just won’t stop. Now she can’t fly her broom! How will Witch One get to the ball? Witch Two tries to help her but to no avail. And one of the brooms isn’t cooperating! Will the highly distraught Witch One make it to the ball for her big night, or will her big night turn into a big letdown?
Klink
Poor little Klink is afraid of everything – living high in a tree, bats, bugs, but especially cats. One night Mom flies off to the store for grasshoppers, dragonflies, beetles and more. With Mom gone, Klink’s brother and sister act out a game of pirates that goes terribly wrong. Klink is the only one around who can rescue his injured brother and sister from an oncoming cat that has dinner on its mind. Will he be able to stand up to this predator? Little owl Klink finds his courage and realizes he is braver than he thinks.
Shear Magic
A surprise spring snowstorm leaves all the newly shorn lambs out in the cold, but Piper has a bigger problem. Peet, her favorite ewe, won’t stop growing wool after she’s sheared! And to top it off, it grows back purple! How does Piper stop the out-of-control wool from taking over the barn? Piper tries everything, even magic words, to stop the fleece from growing, but nothing seems to work, until a few certain magic words of her own do the trick. But now, what is she going to do with all that fleece?
Lorna Lovell Stallman lives in Des Moines, Iowa, USA, but grew up on a farm, which was a lot of hard work but also a lot of fun. She enjoyed helping with chores, even when it meant being chased by two incredibly rude sheep. Lorna tried to instill a love of country life in her two children and is still a farm girl at heart. She likes to include animals in her stories and lives with two of her favorite
