We’re excited to welcome author-illustrator Angie Kang for a special storytime as she shares her beautiful new picture book, Our Lake at Linden Tree Books.
Today, Brother is taking me up to swim in the lake like Father used to.
I want to thank him for bringing us here, but I can’t find the words.
Instead, I loop my arms around his torso, and he does the same back.
Here, in our lake, the water holds us close. Ages 4 to 8, Grades P to 3.

Today: Join us for a special storytime with author Brook M. Thompson as she shares her beautiful new picture book, I Love Salmon and Lampreys: A Native Story of Resilience at Linden Tree Books.
Growing up in the Yurok and Karuk Tribes, Brook Thompson learned to care for the fish that nurtured her and her family. She knew that along the Klamath River in Northern California, salmon and lampreys are a needed part of life. But she also saw how these fish were in danger. People had built dams along the Klamath River, making it very hard for salmon and lampreys to live. Tribal people and their friends organized to have four of the dams removed, and they won. In I Love Salmon and Lampreys, Thompson tells this inspiring tale, and she shares how it motivated her to become a scientist. Featuring adorable illustrations by Anastasia Khmelevska, as well as fun facts about salmon and lampreys, this is a stirring story about stewarding nature for the generations to come. Ages 4 to 8
