Webinar: Book Event for Oscar’s Tower of Flowers

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+.

What providers want is simple — inclusion and representation in the decision-making bodies that regulate their work. In this blog, FCC providers share why they value and respect licensing systems and how that respect can be reciprocated through better representation of providers in those systems.
