With all the happenings in April, you may have missed this. Dr. Sarah Evans presented her new hydrology kids book “Drip Drop”! It was illustrated by Dr. Anna Buckner of the College of Fine and Applied Arts at Appalachian State University and art student Madi Cole. We loved showing it off and giving away a hundred copies at this year’s The Children's Playhouse Buildfest with the help of some great GES students who engaged the kids in related activities.
