Children’s Book Reading with Frank Hicks | Lecture d’un livre jeunesse avec Frank Hicks : Pugsley the Peculiar Puffin đź“–
August 19, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am
FreeFor children of all ages, Frank Hicks reads his recently released book: Pugsley the Peculiar Puffin on the lawn at Greenwood. This children’s book is based on the true story of a wayward puffin from Newfoundland Canada that somehow landed in Montreal. It is also a story of the people who offered their help, the environmentalists who offered their expertise and the professionals who offered their time and resources, all working together to bring this puffin back home.
We’ll have copies of the book available to be signed by the author. All proceeds go to Le Nichoir Wild Bird Conservation Centre, also located in Hudson. Frank’s antique toy collection will complementarily be on display for any curious attendees.
Dans les jardins de Greenwood, Frank Hicks fera la lecture de son livre tout rĂ©cemment publiĂ©, Pugsley the Peculiar Puffin. Cet ouvrage jeunesse se fonde sur l’histoire vraie d’un macareux moine de Terre-Neuve, qui s’est Ă©garĂ© par hasard Ă MontrĂ©al. Il relate l’action concertĂ©e des environnementalistes, professionnels et des autres bienfaiteurs qui ont travaillĂ© d’arrache-pied pour ramener Pugsley chez lui.
Des copies du livre seront en vente sur place, et l’auteur les dĂ©dicacera sur demande. Les profits seront versĂ©s au Centre de conservation des oiseaux sauvages Le Nichoir, qui se situe Ă©galement Ă Hudson. En complĂ©ment, la collection de jouets antiques de Frank sera exposĂ©e pour tous les curieux.
