What does one snowshoeing doctor, three thousand babies, and a million pennies add up to?
Find out in Margi Preus’s new picture book, SNOWSHOE KATE AND THE HOSPITAL BUILT FOR PENNIES, based on the true story of Kate Pelham Newcomb, a doctor in northern Wisconsin in the mid-1900s, and the school children who collected enough pennies to build her a hospital.
"An engaging narrative showcasing an exceptional woman, a time, and a place not often featured in picture book biographies." - Booklist review
Come for the story, stay for the parade! (In the story, the town hosted a Million Penny Parade once the kids had raised a million pennies. We’ll have a Mini Penny Parade!)
Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to celebrate the magic of storytelling! See you there!
