March 14, 2015 was not only Pi Day, but also the birthday of one of our favorite authors and illustrators, Salina Yoon! To commemorate this very special occasion, Salina shared a couple of her newest books FOUND and STORMY NIGHT (and even made it rain!). We gave away party hats, little stuffed toys, and raffled out a copy of STORMY NIGHT and a couple of Floppy dolls (the bunny from her books). We also had cake, crafts, and a scavenger hunt! Upon arrival, children were invited to sign a birthday dog as our gift to Salina for her birthday.
