SUMMARY:Story & Pictures By\, A Children's Books Documentary
DESCRIPTION:Story & Pictures By\, A Children’s Books Documentary\nA Benefit Film Screening for Santa Cruz County Public School Libraries\nSunday\, March 30\, 3 – 5pm \n\n\n \n\nLet’s celebrate the value of children’s books by supporting our local public school libraries together. \nChildren’s books are often one of the first moments that allow children to dive deep into their imaginations. Come celebrate the impact of children’s books with a benefit screening of a new documentary “Story & Pictures By” followed by a discussion with filmmaker Joanna Rudnick. \n100% of the proceeds of every ticket will be used to buy children’s books from Bookshop for Santa Cruz County public school libraries. \nThe first 50 teachers who buy tickets will receive a free tote bag filled with literary goodies! \nThis event will take place at the Santa Cruz High School auditorium and is cosponsored by Bookshop Santa Cruz\, The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz\, and The Santa Cruz County Office of Education. \n“Story & Pictures By” is the first feature documentary to take audiences behind the scenes to meet the authors and artists who create children’s books. \nFollowing bestselling authors Christian Robinson (Last Stop on Market Street)\, Yuyi Morales (Dreamers)\, and Mac Barnett (Sam & Dave Dig a Hole)\, as well as highlighting perennial favorites such as Goodnight Moon\, Snowy Day and Where the Wild Things Are\, the film shows how children’s books reflect the mysteries of childhood\, champion the marginalized\, and provide children with windows and mirrors into their own lives. \nThis event will feature a film screening (Run Time: 1 hour\, 24 minutes) + 20-minute conversation with filmmaker. Children are welcome\, if they are able to sit through the film. \nFilm Trailer: https://vimeo.com/925152924 \nTICKETS:  Entry $15 and varying levels up to $500.

A 23-year old Rick Steves made the trek\, and like a travel writer in training\, he documented everything along the way: jumping off a moving train\, making friends in Tehran\, getting lost in Lahore\, getting high for the first time in Herat\, battling leeches in Pokhara\, and much more. The experience ignited his love of travel and forever broadened his perspective on the world. \nThis book contains edited selections from Rick’s journal and travel photos with a 45-years-later preface and postscript reflecting on how the journey changed his life. Stow away with Rick Steves on the adventure of a lifetime through Turkey\, Iran\, Afghanistan\, Pakistan\, India\, and Nepal. \nYou know Rick Steves. Now discover the adventure that made him the travel writer he is today. \nSince 1973\, Rick Steves has spent about four months a year exploring Europe. His mission: to empower Americans to have European trips that are fun\, affordable\, and culturally broadening. Rick produces a best-selling guidebook series\, a public television series\, and a public radio show\, and organizes small-group tours that take over 30\,000 travelers to Europe annually. He does all of this with the help of more than 100 well-traveled staff members at Rick Steves’ Europe in Edmonds\, WA (near Seattle). When not on the road\, Rick is active in his church and with advocacy groups focused on economic and social justice\, drug policy reform\, and ending hunger. To recharge\, Rick plays piano\, relaxes at his family cabin in the Cascade Mountains\, and spends time with his son Andy\, daughter Jackie\, and his grandson…baby Atlas. Find out more about Rick at www.ricksteves.com and on Facebook. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShow time: 4:00 PM\, doors 3:15 PM\nTickets: $40\nAdvance tickets: www.buytickets.at/bookshopsantacruz\nEvent website: www.bookshopsantacruz.com/rick-steves

As house after house burns down\, her Bushwick neighborhood gets referred to as “The Matchbox” in the local newspaper. And while Sage prefers to spend her time shooting hoops with the guys\, she’s also still trying to figure out her place inside the circle of girls she’s known since childhood. A group that each day\, feels further and further away from her. But it’s also the summer of Freddy\, a new kid who truly gets Sage. Together\, they reckon with the pain of missing the things that get left behind as time moves on\, savor what’s good in the present\, and buoy each other up in the face of destruction. And when the future comes\, it is Sage’s memories of the past that show her the way forward. Remember Us speaks to the power of both letting go . . . and holding on.”
