Join author Natasha Tripplett for a read-aloud of her latest picture story book, Downtown Doors. Participate in an activity with Natasha after the reading of her story.
Downtown Doors is a heartfelt picture book about a mother and son's walk through their city's downtown, celebrating the strength of community—the love it offers and the kindness we can return.
Every week, Wendall and Mama stroll through the city, and Wendall notices the many doors they pass.
On their way home, Wendall begins to wonder about the lives behind each door. Each one seems to open not just to a place, but to people who make him feel welcome and cared for. Could Wendall be a door too—one that opens to others with warmth and love?
Natasha Tripplett lives in Northern California where she writes from a treehouse perched in a sycamore tree. Natasha is a Jamaican Jewish American author who is passionate about cultural representation in children's literature. She bubbles with excitement over antiques, chocolate, coffee on the front porch and cozy movie nights in front of the fireplace with her husband and four children.
