Emil Sher's "I Love You More:" Author Storytime!

Join bestselling author Emil Sher at the JPL on Sunday, March 31st for a morning filled with fun, storytelling, and learning! Emil will be offering a presentation based on his children's book I Love You More, and will lead children in a game - kids will learn storytelling techniques and how a children's book is made. This event is FREE!

"Word play. Ice cream cones. Activity sheets. A heart-to-heart game that connects pairs of students through images and words. A page-by-page treasure hunt. Wait! There’s more: a peek at how Barbara Reid made the beautiful illustrations for I Love You More, the bestselling picture book written by Emil Sher. During this 45-minute presentation for kids ages 5 to 10, Emil engages hearts and minds as he shares the back story to how this acclaimed book went from a game he played with his daughters when they were children to a “a swoon-worthy classic.” Emil covers all the steps that went into the making of I Love You More, from his first drafts to Barbara’s rough sketches, to a last-minute change before it was published. 

All you need is a few words, and a lot of love. How much does Emil love author visits? More than cherries love sundaes. More than boots love rain puddles. More than seek loves hide."
