Join local children's author Jessica Betancourt-Perez for a book signing on her new picture book, A Thousand White Butterflies. This event is free and open to the public!

About the Book:

I didn't know there could be too much snow.

Isabella is a little more nervous than usual about starting school this year. She's just come to the US from Colombia with her Mama and Abuela. Papa is still waiting for permission to join them. How can she make new friends when everyone speaks a different language and does things so differently? And to top it all off, there's snow on the first day of school—so much snow that they cancel school altogether!

Will the storm keep Isabella from starting her new life, or will she find a perfect first day of friendship in the snow?
