Join Koffler Arts and College Montrose Children’s Place for a special afternoon inspired by EON, a new children's picture book by Cybèle Young, an award-winning author and illustrator.

Meet EON, a tiny tardigrade with a big story, and a curious kid who does her most-est to make this microscopic superhero a home. From a Governor General Literary Award-winning illustrator comes a poignant picture book about the tiniest pet imaginable, featuring incredible paper artwork and a beautiful foldout page. Featuring intricate paper sculpture from Cybele Young and cut paper art from collaborator Nell Jocelyn, this playful and touching tale of a tardigrade  is a loving reminder that sometimes the best way of caring for someone is letting go.

Enjoy a reading of the book, a hands-on creative activity, and a chance to meet and hear from Cybèle Young herself!

Designed for children ages 2–7 and their families.
