DESCRIPTION:Join the Easthampton Public Library for a special event with middle-grade author and Mass Book Award-Honoree Elaine Dimopoulos! Elaine will share her adventure novel\, The Remarkable Rescue at Milkweed Meadow and lead a writing exercise. \nButternut lives in the burrows of Milkweed Meadow with her nine rabbit brothers and sisters. Together they practice strategies for survival and tell stories. With disastrous scenarios blooming in her mind\, Butternut embraces the lesson of her families’ stories: stick to your own rabbit-kind. But after befriending a persistent little robin and a wounded deer\, Butternut begins to question what she has been taught and starts to sneak out at night\, collecting thrilling adventures of her own.\n\nWhen the three friends discover other animals in crisis and a terrifying predator on the loose\, Butternut must decide whether she can help\, rally her friends and family\, and be as brave as the heroes in the stories she tells. This timeless tale of courage\, compassion\, and the unexpected power of storytelling that is sure to charm animal-loving readers. \nThis program is sponsored by the Mass Book Awards Speakers Bureau and is presented in collaboration with the Massachusetts Center for the Book. \nElaine Dimopoulos is the author of the 2024 Massachusetts Book Award Honors Title The Remarkable Rescue at Milkweed Meadow and its sequel\, The Perilous Performance at Milkweed Meadow\, both middle-grade animal adventure stories illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Doug Salati. Turn the Tide\, her middle-grade novel-in-verse inspired by real-world environmental activism\, won the Green Earth Book Award. She is also the author of the young adult fast fashion dystopia\, Material Girls.
