Storytime: A New Kind of Wild

except on April 2, 9, 16, 23, 30

When Ren moves to Ava's city, he feels lost without the lush forest he grew up in. How will he ever feel at home in a place with no green and no magic? Of course, not everything in the city is what meets the eye, and as Ren discovers, nothing makes you feel at home quite like a friend. Inspired by the stories her father told her about moving from Puerto Rico to New York as a child, Zara González Hoang's author-illustrator debut is an imaginative exploration of the true meaning of "home."
