Sunday Story Time: Latte’s Broadway Boogie Woogie

Join us for a special Sunday Story Time this week with special guest, author–illustrator Laura Ann Trimble Elbogen! We’ll be reading her latest book, Latte’s Broadway Boogie Woogie: A Big Band Jazz & Dance Ode to NYC Inspired by Dutch Artist Mondrian’s Painting. Latte, the spotted dog, is on a mission that will get the whole city dancing along the streets of Broadway in NYC. After the reading, we’ll collage a festive note of gratitude inspired by the book in anticipation of Thanksgiving. For ages 3-6.

Inspired by the vibrant primary colors and simple geometric beauty of Mondrian’s breathtaking “Broadway Boogie Woogie” and infused with the sounds that defined the boogie woogie era, in “Latte’s Broadway Boogie Woogie” Elbogen takes young readers on a colorful journey across Broadway. Latte the Dalmatian has been asked to help create the perfect wedding by assembling the best boogie woogie band ever, guiding them on a joyous parade past some of NYC’s best landmarks. Can she make it to the wedding on time?

Author-illustrator Laura Ann Trimble Elbogen began this story in a tiny NYC apartment behind Lincoln Center, walking Broadway as she pursued her passion for fashion, history, and architecture. She led her own wedding parade at the Princeton University Chapel while living her dream as founding Programs Director for Archtober, Architecture and Design Month in NYC.
