Sixteen Games of Hide and Seek

Ready or Not, Here I Come!

If you’re seeking an amazing new picture book, then look no further! Join us for a storytime with author STEPHEN BARR and illustrator STEVE TEARE as they read their splendid new picture book, Sixteen Games of Hide and Seek.

Ready or not, here I come! Ro plays hide and seek with his dad, but dad keeps finding him way too quickly! That is, until Ro finds a really, really good spot. But when a storm rolls in outside, and he still hasn’t been found, he begins to wonder: Will Dad ever find him? Is he even looking? But of course he was, and of course he does — he’s always looking for his son.

This is a touching tribute to parental love and a timeless game. With standout, candy-colored illustrations and a wonderfully-written story, it’s a book — and an event — that you’ll surely adore!
