StoryScapes is a free interactive live-stream event! Join us on February 26th from 2-3 pm ET for a fun-filled session with author/illustrator Jess Hannigan.

She’ll read from her book Spider in the Well, a modern fable about a newsboy uncovering the mystery of a broken wishing well, and share how she created it! Plus, watch a live drawing demo and learn how picture books come to life.

After the event, get creative with our StoryScapes Project by reimagining a page from the book to be featured on socials in April 2025!
