Join us for our second edition of #FatCommunityStorytime with popular illustrator Bats Langley (he/him). Many of you already know Bats as the artist who has created our #FatLiberationMonth artwork for the last three years, but did you know that kids all over the world know Bats’ little monster friend Groggle? The School Library Journal says this about Groggle’s Monster Halloween: “More fun than fright, this story’s lively rhyming text and bold illustrations make it a good choice to read aloud to a group.” We couldn’t agree more!
