Saturday, July 13th at the Mill City Farmers Market, Babycake's Book Stack will be joined by Laura James, author of Addison books.

Addison books are unique because each tale highlights one letter of the alphabet, and then includes new vocabulary words that begin with that letter.

We are happy to have her join us from 8:00 am - 1:00 pm! See you there!
