Storytime with 9-year-old author Clay Vilhauer

Join us for a special storytime with young author, Clay Vilhauer, and his mother, Amber Vilhauer, as they read the picture book What Nature Teaches Us: A Book About Being the Light . This is a free all ages event! About the Book: Designed for ages 5–12 and family read-alouds, the book uses lessons from the natural world, including the sun, river, mountain, cloud, and Colorado's state flower, the Columbine, to help children explore resilience, belonging, hope, and life's big emotions. It also includes a built-in "Your Turn" activity that encourages readers to head outdoors, making it a natural fit for story times, SEL programming, and family engagement events. About the Author: Clay Vilhauer is nine years old and already a bestselling author. At six, he announced he wanted to write a book -- six months later, The Long Forest Trail hit #1 on Amazon, won three awards, and reached more than 15,000 families. What Nature Teaches Us is his second book. He lives in Northern Colorado, goes outside as much as possible, and believes that when you focus on your thoughts and feelings, you can make the world a happier place. Amber Vilhauer is the founder of NGNG Enterprises -- No Guts, No Glory -- where she has spent twenty years helping impact-driven leaders bring their authentic voices into the world. She and Clay wrote What Nature Teaches Us in the pockets of a full life, going outside, paying attention, and appreciating each other as much as the world around them.
