One Book, Every Young Child

Each spring, Pennsylvania chooses a local author to feature in the One Book, Every Young Child program.  This is the seventh year that we have participated and we are excited to reveal this year's title!  Stop Snoring, Bernard! by Zachariah OHora was published in 2011, and follows the loveable sea otter Bernard as he tries to find a place in the zoo where his loud snoring won't disturb the other animals. Stop Snoring, Bernard! encourages young readers to appreciate what makes each of us different. Stop Snoring, Bernard! is OHora's first book for children and it is the recipient of the 2011 Society of Illustrator's Founders Award.  Look for storytime programming around this fantastic book during the month of April.
