Book Reading Tour: Genny Sees The Eclipse -An Original Children's Book | Haxton Memorial Library

The Haxton Memorial Library will host a book reading of Genny Sees The Eclipse, our original 28-page soft cover children’s storybook.  Kids and families are invited to attend the free book reading event, and also have your photo taken with our life-size Genny. 

The informative and fun story takes place at the fictional Genesee Farm on April 8, 2024, when Genny the Cow and her farm animal friends experience the solar eclipse.

Genny the Cow is amazed by something special happening in the sky. When the Sun disappears and the sky suddenly darkens, the other animals head to the barn for bed. Genny explains that it’s not really nighttime, but a solar eclipse! After sharing safe viewing glasses with her friends, they experience the once-in-a-lifetime event together. 

The book was created under art direction of Glenn Clark, Crafting A Brand, written by Colleen Onuffer, Break the Ice Media, and illustrated by Andy Reddout, who also designed the County’s commemorative poster.
