This past Saturday, we had the honor of being the Grand Marshals for the Water Tower Festival Parade. As such, we knew we had to go all out. So we recruited friends and family to walk with us and bring beloved literary characters to life. Here are the books and characters that marched with Meinders Community Library for Storybooks on Parade.
