SUMMARY:Sara Levine\, author of A Terrible Place for a Nest Book Launch at Porter Square Books
DESCRIPTION:Porter Square Books is delighted to celebrate the launch of A Terrible Place for a Nest with local author Sara Levine (Nonfiction/WFYP\, January 2006). After a presentation and read-aloud from this lovely picture book\, the author will sign books. RSVP requested. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA child learns to settle into a new home in this lyrical and stirring picture book perfect for fans of MEMORY JARS and EVELYN DEL REY IS MOVING AWAY. \n\n\n\nJuno and his mom have just moved into a new home\, and he hates everything about it – the new school\, his new classmates\, his new room. \n\n\n\nJust outside his window\, Juno notices a family of mourning doves have started a nest atop the fence\, and they seem to be struggling to make it work\, too. Sure enough\, Juno concludes this new place is a terrible place to build a nest. \n\n\n\nBut\, as winter turns to spring and the doves grow\, so does Juno. And while this new place may be scary and sometimes lonely\, they will all make it work\, together. \n\n\n\nLyrical and hopeful\, A Terrible Place for a Nest is a tender and uplifting tale about facing new experiences with empathy and courage.
