SUMMARY:Mike Tidwell: The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Wednesday\, April 2 from 6:30-7:30 pm at the Frederick Book Arts Center for an evening with author Mike Tidwell. Mike will discuss his new novel The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue\, which shares his perspective of the impacts of climate change on his own street near Washington D.C. Following his presentation\, Mike will answer questions and sign books. Copies of The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue will be available for purchase at the event. \nThis event is free and open to the public. For accessibility requests\, email info@curiousiguana.com at least two (2) weeks prior to the event. \nAbout the book: In 2023\, author and activist Mike Tidwell decided to keep a record for a full year of the growing impacts of climate change on his one urban block right on the border with Washington\, DC. A love letter to the magnificent oaks and other trees dying from record heat waves and bizarre rain\, Tidwell’s story depicts the neighborhood’s battle to save the trees and combat climate change: The midwife who builds a geothermal energy system on the block\, the Congressman who battles cancer and climate change at the same time\, and the Chinese-American climate scientist who wants to bury billions of the world’s dying trees to store their carbon and help stabilize the atmosphere. \nThe story goes beyond ailing trees as Tidwell chronicles people on his block sick with Lyme disease\, a church struggling with floods\, and young people anguishing over whether to have kids\, all in the same neighborhood and all against the global backdrop of 2023’s record heat domes and raging wildfires and hurricanes. Then there’s Tidwell himself who explores the ethical and scientific questions surrounding the idea of “geoengineering” as a last-ditch way to save the world’s trees – and human communities everywhere – by reflecting sunlight away from the planet. No book has told the story of climate change this way: hyper local\, full of surprises\, full of true stories of life and death in one neighborhood. The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue is a harrowing and hopeful proxy for every street in America and every place on Earth. \nAbout the author: Mike is a writer and climate activist. His previous six books include Bayou Farewell (2003) about the disappearing wetlands in south Louisiana. As a contributing writer for The Washington Post\, he has won four Lowell Thomas Awards\, the highest prize in American travel journalism. In 2002 he founded the Chesapeake Climate Action Network\, where he has led local and national campaigns for clean energy. He lives on Willow Avenue in Takoma Park with his wife Beth and their cat Macy Gray.

SUMMARY:Bob Shea: Bearsuit Turtle Makes a Friend
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Curious Iguana at 6:00 pm on Tuesday\, March 25 for a meet-and-greet with author Bob Shea as he promotes his new book\, Bearsuit Turtle Makes a Friend. After spending the day visiting schools\, Bob will be at the Iguana in the evening to meet fans and sign books! \nThis event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event. \nAbout the book: Fall in love with a turtle wearing a bear suit—determined to prove that he’s a “for-real” bear—in this laugh-out-loud silly friendship story from the award-winning Bob Shea\, author-illustrator of the popular Dinosaur VS. series and Unicorn Thinks He’s Pretty Great. \nWhen a turtle in a bear suit claims he is a “for-real” bear\, he must prove himself to another turtle who just so happens to be a for-real bear expert. Hilarity ensues as Bearsuit Turtle proves he can climb trees\, hibernate\, and do other for-real bear stuff . . . like riding bikes\, eating ice cream\, and smashing pumpkins. But when Bear-Expert Turtle reveals a secret\, Bearsuit Turtle has to admit a truth of his own. Whether or not these two turtles are for-real bears or experts\, they just might become for-real friends. \nWith a fabulously endearing\, offbeat\, and memorable new character; playful\, true-to-life child dynamics; and a goofy\, kid-perfect sense of humor\, Bearsuit Turtle Makes a Friend is sure to charm readers everywhere. Includes a page of “for-real bear facts” at the end. \nAbout the author: Bob Shea has written and/or illustrated over 20 picture books including the popular Dinosaur Vs. series\, Unicorn Thinks He’s Pretty Great\, and the Ballet Cat early readers series. His most recent picture book\, Chez Bob\, received three starred reviews\, with Booklist calling it “terrifically funny and surprisingly sweet.” Bob’s characters and animations have appeared on Nick Jr\, Playhouse Disney\, and PBS Kids.
