Fantasy Worlds: A Pre-Event Workshop Inspired by “Kingdom of Dust”
2026-02-27 16:00 - 17:00 | Emily Williston Memorial Library, 9 Park Street, Easthampton, MA, 01027
Join the Easthampton Public Library for a family-friendly creative workshop to kick off the excitement for author Lisa Stringfellow’s upcoming visit. Participants will design their own fantasy worlds by transforming an orange peel into a miniature map. Copies of Kingdom of Dust will be available for families to take home as part of this pre-event celebration.
Honored in the Mass Book Awards in the Middle Grade/YA category, Kingdom of Dust follows Amara, a young girl on a quest to find her land’s lost storytellers in order to save her family and society. Drawing inspiration from West African mythology, the novel blends lush prose with accessible writing for readers of all ages. Amara’s journey—rooted in themes of climate justice, cultural memory, and the restoration of her people’s stories—has earned the book recognition within the growing canon of modern fantasy for children.
This program is sponsored by the Mass Book Awards Speakers Bureau and is presented in collaboration with the Massachusetts Center for the Book.
