Join us for a storytime and draw-along with acclaimed author and illustrator Astrid Sheckels in partnership with Mass Kids Lit Fest, a week-long celebration of children’s literature taking place across Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire counties, May 3-9, 2026.
Co-presented by the Lenox Library, this special event highlights Astrid’s new picture book, Flora and the Jazzers, the heartwarming tale of Flora the ferret, a chambermaid who dreams of seeing her favorite band perform at the hotel where she works. A live drawing demonstration will follow the reading.
