Join us for Lauren's reading of her delightful tale Giggles the Green Bean Turns Stinkytown into Greentown. Lauren will sign copies of her book following her presentation in PGE Planet Kids in The Corner Bookstore at the show. Children will also receive Giggles green bean seeds and a coloring page after they listen to Giggles' adventures.

In Giggles the Green Bean Turns Stinkytown into Greentown, the cheerful and conscientious protagonist vows to return his polluted town to the lush paradise his grandmother recalls. He turns to a wise old cabbage to learn about conservation, promising to share his newly acquired knowledge with Stinkytown’s other residents. Taking a mind/body/soul approach to being green, later books in the Giggles the Green Bean series will teach topics such as healthy eating and staying physically active, in addition to environmental responsibility.
