3–9 year-olds and their grown-ups are invited to join us for a reading with author Oliver Gee and illustrator Lina Nordin Gee as they read their new picture book Roger the Liger in Paris. Following the reading, Lina will show participants how to draw a liger (a combination of a tiger and a lion!) and then the pair will answer questions about what inspired this fantastical tale.
This live, interactive event will be hosted in the Children’s Library—Early. Library programs are created to encourage children to actively engage with stories. Children and adults will be invited to ask questions during the Q&A portion of the event. Books will be available for purchase at the event.

Oliver Gee is the creator of the award-winning podcast about Paris and France, The Earful Tower. He used to be a full-time journalist in Paris, but switched to podcasting in December 2017. Lina Nordin Gee runs a chic shoe and handbag company, Deuxième Studios, and likes to draw and paint. You can see her illustrations on Instagram @ParisianPostcards.
