2020 Story Monsters Approved Winner!
Maddie cannot imagine a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than with her Grandpa.
They meet a colorful cast of locals in her hometown: a street musician, a fruit seller, and a pizza chef are all part of this adorable adventure. When Maddie meets the mysterious Lydia, who allows her a sneak peek into the creative and fun behind-the-scenes world of window dressing, she is truly inspired!
A delightful and surprising Saturday to remember by Karen Jonice Bricker and illustrator Samela St. Pierre.
Congratulations to Karen Jonice Bricker! Her latest title, "Maddie's Saturday to Remember," was recently reviewed in "Story Monsters Ink."
"Community is the warm thread that freely flows through this story. Whether it's time spent with special loved ones, or the introduction to the colorful activity of her local community, life becomes electrifying for Maddie. Street vendors and musicians, a pizza chef, and a sneak peek into the exciting and creative work that goes into storefront displays all make her Saturday with Grandpa a day to remember!"
