VIRTUAL: Everybody in the Red Brick Building: Children's Book Reading with Author Anne Wynter, AB '06

Join Anne Wynter, AB '06 for a live presentation and reading of her debut book, Everybody in the Red Brick Building! In this fresh, urban take on bedtime stories, a chain reaction of noises wakes up several children (and a cat) living in an apartment building. But it’s late in the night, so despite the disturbances, one by one, the building’s inhabitants return to their beds—this time with a new set of sounds to lull them to sleep.

Watch Anne's recent interview with NPR.
