Happy Sailor Books will be hosting a book launch of “With My Little Spade” at the Santa Fe College Center for Innovation & Economic Development (CIED) on Sunday.

The free event runs from 3 to 6 p.m. and the CIED building is located at 530 W. University Ave. in Gainesville.

According to the press release, “With My Little Spade is about the beauty of the natural world and the power of the imagination.  A little girl ventures into nature with her garden spade and wagon, ready to dig, plant, and see things grow.”

Author Richard Rosengarten will be on hand with storytelling and poetry. Rosengarten and the book’s illustrator, Thais Bolton, will be on hand to sign copies of the book.

The event will feature educational activities that kids can engage with that are inspired by the book. Snacks will also be on hand.
