The Mudhole

When a friendly hippo spends his day hanging out in his favorite mud hole by the river, who would suspect that other animals from the Savannah might join him and learn that the hippo’s special spot was a wonderfully relaxing place to hang out after all! Hendriks is a confident young hippo who is hoping to make new friends, while Malachite, the Malachite Kingfisher bird, keeps an eye on the animals from all sorts of surprising places. Look to see if you can spot him!

Maggie Reidy - 3-4pm, author of The Great Global Pause, a book for children of all ages tools and wisdom that will help to make the world a better place for the earth, the creatures, and the humans

The Great Global Pause: Inspired By Life On Earth In 2020

A young child is swimming in the ocean when a giant Sea Turtle swims by. The Grandmother Turtle, named Keola, takes the child on an underwater adventure, showing an abundance of healthy ocean life that began to flourish after the COVID-19 pandemic. The child shares their own perspective of what life was like during the restrictions and changes. They share tools and wisdom that will help to make the world a better place for the earth, the creatures, and the humans. This book is well-suited for children of all ages (and the older people who read it to them.)
