Essex resident and author Karin Gertsch has published her first children's book, called Flora has an Adventure. It's not about Essex, and yet it is.
Author Karin Gertsch visited Memorial School to read from her new children's book, Flora Has An Adventure, to kindergartners.
Last week local author Karin Gertsch visited Manchester Memorial Elementary School to do a program based on her recent children’s book “Flora Has An Adventure”, a charming story of Flora, an Ameraucana chicken, who goes on an adventure with Marge, the farmer's wife, while the rest of the flock waits anxiously at Featherfield Farm.
They wonder why Flora was taken away and imagine where she is going. While the hens ponder her fate, Flora has the time of her life. Marge learns something new about Flora, and the children in Essex are amazed at Flora's ability. (After all, isn't Flora just a chicken?)
And during her visit to Memorial, Gertsch delighted students with the story of Flora’s adventure, first in Alison Turpel’s kindergarten class and then again in Cait Conceicao’s pre-kindergarten class.
