Sunday Storytime with Inbal Alon

Join us for our Sunday Storytime—Inbal Alon will be reading her books Maddy’s Towers and The Whys Get in Trouble.

No RSVP required.

About Maddy’s Towers:

Maddy’s heart feels like a tower of blocks that has crashed down when her best friend Mei shares a secret that wasn’t hers to tell. With her mom’s guidance, Maddy learns that trust, like a tower, is something people build together one kind choice at a time. Soon, Maddy is given a chance to knock down Mei’s tower, too. She must decide: Will she let it fall… or start building again? Maddy’s Towers is a story about friendship, forgiveness, and the small choices that help trust grow.

About The Whys Get In Trouble:

Naomi has a serious case of the Whys.

Her Whys pop up everywhere – at school, at home, and all through the day – buzzing with questions about rules, routines, and the world around her.

But at school, Naomi’s questions do not always fit the moment. When her Whys keep getting her into trouble, she begins to wonder if there is space for all her curiosity.

The Whys Get in Trouble is a heartfelt and imaginative picture book about curiosity, school, self-expression, and big feelings. With humor and warmth, it celebrates the children who ask questions, think deeply, and see wonder everywhere – while gently exploring how to navigate rules, timing, and classroom life.
