On Saturday, November 9, Librarian and Author Angela Kunkel will present her new book World More Beautiful, at the South Burlington Public Library Marabella Kidspace. The stunning and lyrical picture book biography details the life and art of celebrated children's book creator, Barbara Cooney.

Cooney is the author and illustrator of Miss Rumphius, Hattie and the Waves and Island Boy, and the illustrator for Ox Cart Man.

Ms. Kunkle’s book brings Cooney’s work to life and highlights the inspirational message spoken by one of Cooney’s beloved characters, Miss Rumphius: “You must do something to make the world more beautiful.”

It's a message that's sure to inspire young readers and creators today.

Join us for a very special family event: Angela will read from her new book and share a painting exercise inspired by the work of Barbara Cooney!

"My son and I went to a free concert by Jon Gailmor at the SB Library last Sunday and it was great! If you ever get a chance to see him perform, please do. He offers an all ages show ages ranges from 099 and everyone was included and seemed pleased. Between his funny lyrics and audience participation, there is really something for everyone. Thank you SB library!"
