Making Minnesota Pat Bauer & Dave Geister

St. Charles Public Library
Enjoy hands-on activities while learning more about the great state of Minnesota! Author Pat Bauer and illustrator Dave Geister will visit the St. Charles Public Library on Wednesday, June 14 at 2 PM to share “Making Minnesota,” an activity book recently published by the Minnesota Historical Society. The book will be available for free at this family event, thanks to generous funding from the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment.
The activity book explores Minnesota’s history, people, landscapes, wildlife, and culture. It is full of information and activities for kids and celebrates all things Minnesota. The book offers activities to help young readers engage with Minnesota’s history, people, and places by encouraging them to make their own illustrations, maps, lists of favorite places, and other ways to make Minnesota great.
Patricia Bauer is the author of “B for Battle Cry: A Civil War Alphabet.” Dave Geister provided the illustrations for Bauer’s book, as well as for many other historically-themed picture books.
The program at the library is geared towards kids ages 7 and up, as well as families that have newly immigrated to Minnesota.
