We invite you to join us for a magical afternoon of activities at the launch of the brand-new children’s book “Perfectly Imperfect” by local author and illustrator Brenda Hattingh. We will start the festivities with a 20-minute magic show performed by the author herself, followed by a fun activity for anyone who wants to participate. (If you just want to observe, that’s fine too!) After this, we’ll settle down for a reading of the delightful book, Perfectly Imperfect. Finally, you will have the opportunity to purchase your very own copy of Perfectly Imperfect and have Brenda sign it for you! Recommended for ages 3-8, but all ages are welcome! *Adult caregiver must remain on premises during event* About the Author: Brenda is an actress, writer, painter, children’s entertainer, illustrator, and rug artist based in Salt Lake City.
