When a giant bagel starts singing and dancing, or a saber tooth goes missing at the natural history museum, or an ancient Egyptian statue suddenly disappears, Mrs. Patropolis is just the aunt with whom to share the adventure. In this book of New York stories for kids, Mrs. Patropolis takes her niece and nephew, Ellie and Daniel, on all her Thursday afternoon adventures around the City. Together they meet an alphabet of cats of many colors, and a couple of zany dogs, as they attend parties and theaters, and visit museums and gardens. Join them for singing, jokes, scavenger hunts...a Shakespearean sonnet, interspecies yoga, vegan lasagna, an intergenerational choir's African American spiritual, a fantasy film forest quest to rescue refugees, a helpful ghost...
The Adventures of Mrs. Patropolis (2016) is the winner of the First Place Purple Dragonfly Children's Book Award in the LGBT Category for 2017.
