About this event

From NYT bestsellers Angela and Tony DiTerlizzi comes a humorous, social-emotional story about not judging a book by its cover—even if that cover is super scary! Up in the attic where no one ever goes, there lives a very scary book. He might look scary, but all he wants is a friend. When, one day, he feels brave enough to venture downstairs, he ends up frightening the other books. Will Scary ever be able to find a friend who sees him for who he truly is? Angela and Tony DiTerlizzi, the bestselling husband-and-wife team behind A Very Cranky Book, have crafted a tale that is both a friendship story and social-emotional fable. It’s the perfect reminder that sometimes good friends can come in unexpected packages. About the Author: Angela DiTerlizzi is a beloved author of award-winning, charming, and inspiring picture books, including the New York Times and USA Today bestselling The Magical Yet series, Some Bugs, Just Add Glitter, and many others.
