Do animals get earaches or sore throats? Who helps them if they can’t talk? Meet the author and illustrator of Dr. Rosie Helps the Animals, an award-winning picture book informed by real-world veterinarians. The author and illustrator will tell the story behind the story of Dr. Rosie and engage kids in an interactive reading. After that, there’ll be a hands-on activity where kids (and their grownups) learn how to evaluate, diagnose, and treat a stuffed animal. Each participant will receive their own mini vet kit and diagnostic/treatment sheet to take home. This program is best for children ages 4-8. Please plan to attend and be engaged with your child for this program. Children should bring their own stuffed animals. Registration required; click here.
