Mockingbird Books invites families to a lively and inspiring storytime with local author Jessica Young, featuring her picture book Millie the Mayor Baby—a fun and energetic introduction to how cities work and how even the youngest readers can be changemakers in their communities.

Perfect for children ages 0–6, this engaging event will spark curiosity about teamwork, problem-solving, and the many roles that help a city run—from fixing potholes to building parks. After the reading, Jessica will lead a sing-along with classic children’s songs reimagined with a city theme (like “Wheels on the Bus”), followed by a hands-on craft where kids can dream up and draw their own ideal city as mayor.

Don’t miss this playful, age-appropriate introduction to civic life—designed to inspire the next generation of community leaders!
