About this event

Join us for an extraordinary opportunity to meet Academy Award-winning actress, founder, producer, and New York Times bestselling author, Reese Witherspoon, as she presents her picture book series, "Busy Betty."

 

In “Busy Betty & the Circus Surprise,” Betty is back to throw the birthday party of a lifetime! She has an amazing idea: she's throwing her mom a birthday party. Shhh . . . It's a surprise! Then Betty and her best friend, Mae, have the best idea of all: What if they threw Mom a circus surprise party?! It will be the greatest day in the history of the universe! Everything is perfect until Betty realizes—oh, no!—Mom's birthday isn't today . . . it's next month. Whatever will they do with their circus surprise now?

 

During our Flip event, Reese will share the inspiration behind “Busy Betty,” the magic of children’s minds and all the creative ideas they have. Your students will have the opportunity to hear Reese read an excerpt from the book, bringing the characters and their adventures to life.

 

Reese will encourage young minds to embrace their creativity, put their ideas into action, and follow their dreams!
