In the kitchen ... no, no, the library, with mother and son team, creators of “Chicken Soup”

A book party for Chicken Soup and its creators at the Chappaqua Library

Little Chickie has a tell-tale cold, which makes for a hard time hiding from Mrs. Farmer, who has chicken soup in mind. Sunday, May 3, Chappaqua children’s book author Jean Van Leeuven and her son, David Gavril, illustrator of “Chicken Soup,” will read from their book, discuss their collaboration and autograph copies for sale. 

Chicken Soup, a picture book for children ages 3 to 6, is the latest of Van Leeuven’s fifty works that include the easy-to-read Amanda Pig series as well as novels and historical fiction. 

For a decade, Van Leeuven has volunteered at Grafflin elementary school, teaching writing to the youngest authors. And for years she has run a workshop for grown-up writers in her home in Chappaqua.  See A solitary pursuit, together, NewCastleNOW.org, December 14, 2007.

This program is free but space is limited, so preregister.
