David will be singing books, answering questions, and display a running how-to video of the way he photographs animals for his “Curious Critters” children’s books. David will personalize board books (including Curious Critters Ohio, Curious Critters Birds, and Curious Critters Dogs) and picture books (including Curious Critters Backyard Animals, Curious Critters Marine, Salamander Dance, and Wakem the Rooster). Everyone gets a free sticker or bookmark!
