Stories and Smiles with Pete The Squirrel

PETE THE SQUIRREL author Richard Oshen reads @ Cherry Valley Student Center

A Night of Stories and Smiles at Cherry Valley Student Center

There’s nothing quite like the joy of sharing a great story with young minds eager to explore the world of books. I had the absolute pleasure of reading The Adventures of Pete the Squirrel – In The House at Cherry Valley Student Center’s Family Book Fair Night, and what a fantastic evening it was!

A huge thank you to Tammy Slaten, Principal of Cherry Valley Student Center, for the warm welcome, to all the amazing parents who made time for this special event, and most importantly—to the students! Your enthusiasm, curiosity, and excitement for storytelling made the night unforgettable.

Cherry Valley Student Center is dedicated to fostering a love of learning, and it was an honor to be part of an event that celebrates literacy and creativity. It’s no surprise that so many students told me they’re writing their own books! That’s incredible—and I want you to know, I’m here to help.

Everyone has a story inside. It’s time to share it with the world! Writing is a journey, and I can’t wait to see what amazing tales you’ll tell. Who knows? Maybe one day, I’ll be at a book fair listening to your story being read!

Every great story starts somewhere! Let it start with you!

Until next time, happy reading! 📚🐿️✨
