Brookline Author Events for K-2 Students
Posted: 5/31/2026 10:30 pm
Hayes kids (especially K-2) are invited to hear Brookline author (and Runkle mom) Jessie Davis Keppeler read at two local bookstores. Jessie’s new book, Tess Makes an S, is a story about a girl in speech therapy, facing off with a slippery, snake-like letter S on her quest to be better understood. All kids working toward a goal will be able to relate to little Tess.
June 7th, 11am at Hummingbird Books at the Street in Chestnut Hill
June 13th, 12pm at Turtle Books in Brookline Village
Readings include an activity: kids make a custom home for their own baby snake (don’t worry, parents, the snake is fake!).
