Once upon a time, Ashley Belote dreamed of making books for little readers. Her imagination took her to enchanted forests filled with adventure, magic, and wolves, who wore bunny slippers in their dens. Now Ashley weaves laughter, friendship, and silly birds into stories fit for any fairy-tale fan to enjoy.
Come in your pj’s, listen to a story and learn to draw a character out of the book. We will also be doing a craft.
The kids love Ashley and Ashley loves the kids. Its a good time by all.
