FEATURED READ

2 - 6 years
Stephanie Parsley Ledyard
A picnic, a beach, a pie cut into pieces and shared with good friends.
Pie is for sharing.
It starts off round, and you can slice it into as many pieces as you want. What else can be shared? A ball, of course. A tree? What about time?
Through the course of one memorable Fourth of July picnic, Stephanie Ledyard and Jason Chin take young readers through the ups and downs of sharing in this lovely picture book.
Guest Reader: Abigayl Meadows, Graduate assistant at the Oakley STEM Center.
Video Production: Gary Bradford our AV Specialist at the STEM Center.
