Join The Silver Unicorn Bookstore and True West Brewing Co. for the launch of Silver Unicorn’s inaugural Mock Awards program -- their new Mock Caldecott and Mock Newbery programs.
This fall, they're launching four new programs, with an eye toward both getting kids reading more and helping schools get good books for their classrooms and libraries in an efficient manner. The four programs are:
- Mock Caldecott: The books we think are contenders for the Caldecott Medal
- Mock Newbery: The books we think are contenders for the Newbery Medal
- The Fun-decott: Picture books that probably won't receive Caldecott consideration, but are fun and engaging that your students will love.
- The Fun-bery: Chapter books that probably won't receive Newbery consideration, but are fun and engaging that your students will love.
Each program will feature 20 books, and schools, educators, and libraries can get a discount on them when they order either the whole set or most of the whole set (15 of 20). The Mock Caldecott program will also come with a free lesson plan for educators!!!
The unveiling of each list will be on this night, Mock Awards Night, and it will be a celebration in the finest sense. We will be joined by a powerhouse lineup - Aaron Becker, Winsome Bingham, Mary Lee Donovan, and Brian Lies!!!
True West Brewery will be on hand to sell food and drink, and we will have special presentations from authors and illustrators, and a whole lot more! Tickets are $20, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity. Buy tickets

This workshop will combine gentle yoga, acupressure, myofascial release techniques and yoga nidra to balance our bodies for the Autumn season.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we have reached the element of Metal, the time of Autumn. The harvest is done, the growing season is over, and nature shows us how to fall away from outer-directed energy, letting us spiral back inwards. In this place of letting go, we cast off what we no longer need and get back to our essence. This is the time of autumn. In our workshop, we will explore the principles of Chinese Medicine and Five Element Theory. We will learn how acupressure works, how to hold acupoints, and how it all relates to yoga. We will open our bodies with a mindful yoga practice, balance the energy pathways of autumn with acupressure points and myofascial release techniques, and end with a long guided relaxation to integrate the effects of your practice.
Prepare to unwind, have some aha’s, and feel empowered to support yourself in this powerful season of letting go!

A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants are immersed in sound frequencies created by various instruments, such as singing bowls, drums and chimes. The sounds are intended to promote physical, mental and emotional well-being. It’s called a bath because you are “bathed” in the sound waves and energetic frequencies that bring your mind and body back into balance and harmony.
All are welcome—a lot of programming at IB & Co is for expecting and new families, but this is for anyone looking to treat themselves to a relaxing, meditative experience.
