### Exploring the Intersection of Children’s Literature and Community Events: A Look at Brick and Mortar Books’ June Events
In June, Brick and Mortar Books, a beloved local bookstore, is creating vibrant community engagement through a series of author events focusing on children’s literature. These events not only showcase the talents of authors but also reinforce the importance of literacy and community connections among families and young readers.
On June 1 at 2:00 PM, readers will have the chance to meet Trudi Trueit, author of *Explorer Academy Vela: The Unbreakable Bond*, and Jenna Lee-Yun, author of *The Last Rhee Witch and the Nine-Tailed Fox*. Both authors will celebrate their new releases, engaging with attendees in a free event that fosters a love for storytelling in attendees of all ages.
The excitement continues on June 3 at 6:30 PM, when local authors Suzanne Kaufman and Martha Brockenbrough will present their newest children’s books, *Hello Dog/Hello Human* and *A Gift of Dust*. This event, like the previous one, is free and encourages families to come together to appreciate the world of children’s literature.
These gatherings serve a dual purpose: they not only spotlight the creativity and imagination of the authors but also foster an environment where families can connect with one another, share their love for reading, and inspire the younger generation to embrace literacy. By hosting such events, Brick and Mortar Books plays a vital role in nurturing a community that values reading and creativity.
