Barnes & Noble Corte Madera Announces Free July Storytime Events

Barnes & Noble Corte Madera is excited to announce its July lineup of free Storytime events for children and families, all designed to celebrate the joy of reading, creativity and fun. The events center around the popular children’s books The Numberlys by author William Joyce, with illustrations by William Joyce and Christina Ellis; and What Do You Do With an Idea by author Kobi Yamada and illustrator Mae Brown.

The month kicks off with The Numberlys. On Saturday, July 12, at 11 a.m., the Corte Madera Barnes & Noble will celebrate reading via a free event for children ages 3 to 7 featuring William Joyce’s new picture book, The Numberlys. Based on the award-winning app, this is author William Joyce’s homage to everyone who knows there is more to life than shades of black and gray.

The Numberlys is the creative story about friends with dull lives because there are only boring numbers. So, they break out hard hats and welders, hammers and glue guns, and start creating numbers. One letter after another emerges until there are 26, and when the letters enter the world, something truly wondrous begins to happen like Pizza! Jelly beans! Color! Books! The book highlights the process of making art and the thrill of discovering new things through one’s imagination.

From July 15 to August 25, while supplies last, customers who want to bring the fun home can buy The Numberlys for only $8.99 (regularly priced at $17.99) with the purchase of any children’s book.

Participants will also enjoy a reading of the The Numberlys NOOK Book.® The beautiful illustrations will inspire kids to draw on NOOK’s Drawing Pad app. Coloring and activities round out the fun.

What Do You Do With an Idea – On Tuesday, July 29, at 11 a.m., Barnes & Noble Corte Madera will host a free Storytime for children ages 3 and up featuring What Do You Do With an Idea? by author Kobi Yamada and illustrator Mae Brown.

This is the story of one brilliant idea and the child who helps to bring it into the world. As the child’s confidence grows, so does the idea itself. And then, one day, something amazing happens. This is a story for anyone, at any age, who’s ever had an idea that seemed a little too big, too odd, or too difficult. It’s a story to inspire children and parents to welcome that idea, to give it some space to grow, and to see what happens next. Because that idea isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it’s just getting started. Following the story, children will experience the Drawing Pad and other art apps on NOOK.

Barnes & Noble Storytimes are free and open to the public. Barnes & Noble Corte Madera is located at 313 Corte Madera Town Center, Corte Madera, CA 94925.
