Revolutionary Tea on a Gambrel Roof w/Tea & Cake
2025-05-17 15:00 - 17:00 | Tapley Memorial Hall, 13 Page Street, Danvers, M, 01923, United States
A dramatization of ‘A Gambrel Roof’, a poem by Lucy Larcom.
A creative multi-disciplinary theatrical presentation of a circa 1875 local poem about the historic Danvers Jeremiah Page House. Period music, an art installation, historic tea blends, and signature cakes add to the illustration of the story:
In about 1770, when the British monarchy started taxing tea in the colonies, Jeremiah told Sarah that “no tea shall be drunk in this house”. However, while her husband was away one day, Sarah and two friends secretly had their tea ON the roof of the house. In Sarah’s words, “Upon a house is not within it”, so she was still obeying her husband’s wishes. This story was told to Anne L. Page, Jeremiah’s granddaughter, by a family friend many years later. Anne then told it to her friend Lucy Larcom, the famous Beverly poet. Lucy romanticized the story in the poem “A Gambrel Roof,” written as the 100th birthday of our nation approached and published in the Atlantic Monthly.
There will be a Q&A session after the production, moderated by historian Dan Gagnon.
Wheelchair accessible building and parking available. Additional parking in the Elm Street lot.

“Mole Is Not Alone”: Spring Storytime with Children’s Authors Maya Tatsukawa and Hanna Cha
2025-05-17 12:00 - 13:00 | Peabody Institute Library, 82 Main St., Peabody, M, 01960, United States
Join the Peabody Institute Library for a special event with acclaimed children’s author and Mass Book Award-Honoree Maya Tatsukawa, who will present Mole Is Not Alone and her brand-new book, Otter Carries On! Maya will be joined in conversation by author-illustrator Hanna Cha.
Mole is invited to a party, which is very worrisome. What if the party is too rowdy for Mole? What if Mole doesn’t know anyone there? What if Mole is just too shy to make friends? Mole worries through the tunnels, around Snake’s burrow, under the forest, past Bear’s den, and all the way to Rabbit’s door. But despite all those worries, maybe Mole can find a quiet way to make friends . . .
In this cozy picture book about friendship, Mole anxiously decides to journey through underground tunnels to attend a party.
With warm and sweet illustrations, every page of Mole Is Not Alone is an invitation to look and look again. Readers can follow Mole’s tunnel as it connects from one page to the next, learning along the way that everyone can make friends, even if some parties are quieter than others.
This program is sponsored by the Mass Book Awards Speakers Bureau and is presented in collaboration with the Massachusetts Center for the Book.
Maya Tatsukawa is a children’s book author, illustrator, and designer residing just out of Boston with her cat/studio manager. When she’s not designing, illustrating, or thinking about children’s books, you can find her baking cream puffs, eating ice cream, or searching for the perfect scone. She is the author and illustrator of Sunday Pancakes, which was a 2023 Mass Book Awards Honors title, Mole Is Not Alone, a 2024 Mass Book Awards Honoree, The Bear in My Family, and Otter Carries On (2025).
Hanna Cha is a Caldecott Honor award-winning illustrator and writer with several books under her belt. She is the creator of her first book Tiny Feet Between the Mountains and illustrated Circle Round by Anne Sibley O’Brien. She was also the recipient of the Caldecott Honor and the APALA winner for The Truth about Dragons by Julie Leung and also part of the Junior Library Gold Standard Selection for The House Before Falling Into the Sea by Ann Suk Wang.

5-Day Bare Bones Wood Carving Workshop
2025-05-17 09:00 - 17:00 | Calvo Wood Carving School, 235 East Main Street, Gloucester, MA, 01930, United States
Here is a great opportunity to learn the fundamentals of woodcarving in 5 days from a professional!
For those of you who cannot find time for the five consecutive days, this is what I do. If you take a two or three-day course you are taking the first two or three days of my five-day workshop which is broken up into daily learning chapters. So three days brings you to chapter three, two days to chapter two. The weekend workshops will give you a basic understanding of the skill of wood carving which includes hand-carving technique, sharpening, and designing skills among other topics but the full training takes five days. You will also do the carving projects to reinforce the hand techniques that we talk about so that you gain much needed muscle memory in your hands.
Some students may be satisfied with the information learned, others may choose to find their way back for another weekend and finish the last two or three days to get all the necessary techniques and insights. When you return, (it can be during that calendar year or the next) everyone else is at the beginning point on the start of the weekend, but you pick up where you left off to finish your training. That’s the story in a nutshell. Call me if you are looking for more info. I am happy to answer any questions.
All class days run from 9 am – 5 pm.

5-Day Bare Bones Wood Carving Workshop
2025-05-17 09:00 - 17:00 | Calvo Wood Carving School, 235 East Main Street, Gloucester, MA, 01930, United States
Learning woodcarving is a lot like learning how to write in a language. You need to know the letters of the alphabet and what is a vowel and what is a consonant. You need to learn how to put together a word and understand the meaning of it. Then you need to learn how to form a sentence and a paragraph that carries a theme. These are absolute necessities that you need to know in order to write. The same is true in woodcarving, there are absolute necessities you need to know in order to carve with intent and confidence. So in all truth, I need five days of your time in order to get the complete set of fundamentals into both your hands and your head.
However, I often get asked if I have weekend courses because of time restrictions. For those of you who cannot find time for the five consecutive days, this is what I do. If you take a two or three-day course you are taking the first two or three days of my five-day workshop which is broken up into daily learning chapters. So three days brings you to chapter three, two days to chapter two. The weekend workshops will give you a basic understanding of the skill of wood carving which includes hand-carving technique, sharpening, and designing skills among other topics but the full training takes five days.
