SUMMARY:Reading & Q&A With Doug Wechsler
DESCRIPTION:We’re teaming up with The Chestnut Hill Conservancy to welcome author Doug Wechsler for a free, family-friendly book reading on Sunday, October 4th at 10AM.\nWechsler is a noted local children’s author and a photographer, dubbed “The Darwin of Chestnut Hill” for his more than 25 children’s books. His latest book, “Bizarre Bugs, Toads, and Butt-Breathers,” is a nature-oriented educational experience designed for young readers. Wechsler will read from three of his works, “The Hidden Life of a Toad”, “Bizarre Bugs”, and “Blowholes, Book Gills, and Butt-Breathers: How Animals Get Their Oxygen”, sharing stories about the fascinating (and at times, hilarious) wildlife found throughout the Wissahickon watershed and beyond. The reading will be followed by a Q&A for curious young nature lovers.\nKids can additionally enjoy stickers and a scavenger hunt to explore Chestnut Hill’s landscape, known as Philadelphia’s “Garden District.”\nThis event is part of the Chestnut Hill Conservancy’s annual Night of Lights programs.
