Darien Library is proud to welcome Kate and Jake Goldbas for a special book launch celebration featuring an interactive concert inspired by Kate’s debut picture book and original song, I Wish That I Could Be a Whale!

When it’s time for bed, one curious child’s imagination is just waking up. What would it be like to sing like a whale, swing like a monkey, or build like a beaver? Through shared music-making experiences families will explore how melody, rhythm, and tempo help tell the story and bringI Wish That I Could Be A Whale to life!

Following the concert, families are invited to a book signing and meet-and-greet with the author and performers. Copies of I Wish That I Could Be a Whale will be available for purchase at the event.

Recommended for children with their parent or caregiver. Please register each member of the family who plans to attend.
