Anne-Louise Presents "You're Wonderful!"

HI! Everyone-

My Kindergartener and I are really excited to see Anne-Louise Sterry at the Beaverton Library this Thursday morning (big sis would like to skip school but no can do!!!) We discovered Anne-Louise's fantastic shows when my girls were 2 and 4 years old and we've gone to every gig possible ever since!!!!

Fresh from her European tour, we're lucky to have Anne-Louise in our neck of the woods! Her stories are funny, touching and interactive and her tunes like "Making Ravioli" will have the tots dancing. And she plays a mean guitar!!!

Hope to see you there!

Suzanne
