Webinar: Book Event for Oscar’s Tower of Flowers

A smiling child rides a tricycle pulling wagons full of flowers, with a cat, monkey toy, and a tall building behind.

On Tuesday, May 25th, 2:00-2:45pm Eastern, join Home Grown, ParentChild+, and The Book Vine for Children for a discussion of the newly released book, Oscar’s Tower of Flowers. Oscar’s Tower of Flowers by author-illustrator Lauren Tobia is a wordless picture book featuring Oscar and his caregiver, Nana. When Oscar’s mom has to go away for a while, Oscar and Nana sow seeds and grow flowers everywhere, which they share with their community. 

Home-based child care providers who register for the event are eligible to receive a free copy of the book. 

The event will feature the book’s author-illustrator, Lauren Tobia, and a panel including a HBCC provider and staff from ParentChild+.
