Author and Illustrator Visit: Hey Neighbor!

When a curious young girl notices the elderly gentleman next door, she discovers that being a good neighbor means so much more than living side by side. Through simple acts of kindness - a wave Hello, a shared smile, helping hands and warm conversations - an unlikely friendship blossoms between two neighbors from different generations and backgrounds. Together they show that love, respect and community can bridge any divide.

Hey Neighbor is a touching celebration of intergenerational friendship and the beautiful connections we build when we open our hearts to those around us. Perfect for families who want to teach children about compassion, empathy and the true meaning of neighborly love.

In this program, the library welcomes author Rebekah Chigali and illustrator Lailah Hill for an author chat about the making of this heartwarming, true story and what it truly means to be a neighbor!
