Thea's Tree and Storybook Hour at Red Butte Gardens

Sam Weller's Bookstore and Red Butte Garden's have teamed up for a couple of seasons to present the always delightful Em's Sprouthouse Storybook Hour. This month we will be reading Thea's Tree by Alison Jackson. This is a great book for the future naturalist, scientist, and scholar!

Thea Teawinkle, is the star of our story, and tries desperately, through a series of letter's to identify the budding vine in her backyard. Each day it grows, she writes a letter to yet another scholar to make an identity. She receives letters from a full range of specialists including a botanist, arborist, museum curator, zoologist, and tree remover. There is a familiar fairy tale underlying Thea's Tree, and the author does a pretty good job of masking it until the end of the story, when things like say...a singing harp start falling out of the sky!

Join Sam Weller's this Saturday, November 8th from 1-2 in Em's Sprouthouse at Red Butte Garden for a reading of Thea's Tree followed by storybook-themed activities. Appropriate for children ages 3-6. Must be accompanied by a caregiver.

Red Butte Gardens is located on 300 Wakara Way, SLC, UT 84108.
