What’s Happening?

Join local author Marybeth Wishart for a reading of "Parker the Purple Penguin," a free craft, and book signing at Public Works Art Center on August 28 from 10am-11am.

About the book:
 Parker, a very purple penguin, does not understand why he is not accepted by his peers. How can they not like him, especially when he loves to do all the same things they do? Why does he get excluded by all the other penguins just because of the color of his coat? What can Parker do that will make the other penguins become his friends?
 Follow Parker's adventures as he faces the challenges of being different. What finally changes the other penguins' perception of Parker? Read the story and discover all the things Parker did and what it took for the other penguins to understand the truth.
 Parker the Purple Penguin explores themes that are relevant to all children—and even adults!—such as accepting each other’s differences, empathy, and bravery.

About the author:
Marybeth Wishart is a retired special education teacher who has taught at both the elementary and high school level for over thirty-four years. She is a Connecticut native now living in South Carolina and trying as many new things as possible, including publishing her first children's book.
