Guest Reader Saturday Story Time

Join us for a special Saturday morning at The Wandering Lantern featuring award-winning Ohio children's author Marcy Campbell. The event kicks off at 11:00 AM with our regular Story Time, where Marcy will read friendship-themed picture books perfect for younger listeners. After the initial stories, families with school-age children (ages 6–12) are welcome to stay for an extended session where Marcy shares her new book, *We Used to Be Friends*, illustrated by Aimée Sicuro. This part of the program explores the complex feelings that come when friendships shift or end, creating space for kids to talk about emotions and moving forward in an age-appropriate way. The morning wraps up with a friendship-themed craft that children can create and take home. Copies of *We Used to Be Friends* will be available for purchase and signing by the author. It's a cozy, engaging way for families to enjoy stories together, meet a local author, and celebrate the many forms friendship takes in our lives. There's no registration or admission fee—just come ready for a warm, interactive morning.
