Story Time Reading of Ily the Drama Queen Goes to the Vet - Friday, June 12th 3-4PM
In Ily the Drama Queen Goes to the Vet, author Heather Turner blends humor and rhythm to follow ILY from calm companion at home to full theatrical performer at the veterinary clinic. Through happy wiggles, nervous protests, and eventual calm, the story models a familiar emotional arc for young children: fear, expression, and recovery.
