I’m delighted to share this press release from the Maturango Museum for Children’s Hour – Featuring my book “The Gingerbread Cowboy – A Folktale With A Desert Twist” Nov. 17, 2017.

Children’s Hour at the Museum – A Nod to Tradition

Moms, Dads, Grandparents and their preschoolers are welcome to a morning that might feel a bit like a visit to olden times. On Friday, November 17, 10:30-11:30 the children will be introduced to a familiar folktale with a desert twist, “The Gingerbread Cowboy” by Janet Squires, followed by “riding trail” on calico-headed stick horses. Continuing to keep the spirit of the West alive will be the story “Barn Dance!” by Bill Martin. Lively fiddle music is bound to set the children’s feet to moving in a Hoe Down round dance. A last old-fashioned story recalling turkey-time visits to grandparents in pictures and song will signal time for crafts and guided hands-on viewing at the Discover Table.

Families are encouraged to please arrive on time. Children’s Hour at the Maturango Museum is a monthly program throughout the school year presented by volunteer docents.

Maturango Museum is open daily 10-5. Tel. 760-375-6900 and website maturango.org.

The Maturango Museum is located at 100 E Las Flores Ave, Ridgecrest, California 93555

If you’re in the area be sure to make time to enjoy this delightful program.
