Ben Clanton, Corey R. Tabor, & Andy Chou Musser - Papilio

Join staff favorite children's authors Ben Clanton, Corey R. Tabor, & Andy Chou Musser for a free kids event in the Readings Gallery as they present their new book, Papilio! 

PAPILIO, a delightful and imaginative picture book crafted by the dynamic trio of Eisner Award winner Ben Clanton, Caldecott Honor winner Corey R. Tabor, and creator of A Home Under the Stars, Andy Chou Musser. This unique collaboration brings to life the charming tale of Papilio Polyxenes, the Black Swallowtail Butterfly, in a story told in three captivating parts. 

Perfect for fans of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, PAPILIO introduces young readers to an adorable and hilarious caterpillar who is ready to embark on her journey to become a butterfly. As she navigates the complexities of growing up, Papilio learns to fly, fall, and feed, all while avoiding foes and making friends. Through her transformation from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly, she discovers the importance of believing in herself.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
