We were thrilled to welcome illustrator Chris Eliopoulos to The Magic House earlier today! ✨

This evening, Chris will join author Brad Meltzer for a special appearance at St. Louis County Library's Clark Family Branch. They will discuss the newest book in their Ordinary People Change the World series, We are the Wright Brothers.

Fun fact: Chris was inspired to start drawing after reading Peanuts as a child, making today's visit to Take Care with Peanuts: The Exhibit especially meaningful. 💛

Join Brad and Chris tonight at 6 p.m. at the Clark Family Branch! Details here: https://www.slcl.org/events/brad-meltzer-and-christopher-eliopoulos

✨ Something NEW has arrived in Wonder Why, our Family Collab Lab! ✨

Introducing the Play Together Table, inspired by loose parts play, where everyday materials can become anything a child imagines.

Build, sort, stack, and create side by side as you follow your child's ideas.

Through open-ended exploration, children build creativity, curiosity, and confidence while families experience the joy of playing together. 💜

The Play Together Table was made possible by generous support from the PNC Foundation.
