Featured Book: Meow! Retold and illustrated by Katya Arnold. This month we’re inspired by the exhibition Cats and Dogs in Soviet Art. Join us for a fun, colorful tale based on a story by Vladimir Grigorievich Suteev, a major figure in the Soviet animation industry. In this silly story, we follow a puppy as he searches for the source of the mysterious “meow” he keeps hearing. Whatever could it be?!
