Maggie McNair comes to the Waxlax

Children’s author and SES grad Shelia Booth-Alberstadt ’87 brought her “adopted child” Maggie McNair to Pirate Territory on October 5 when she read her latest book, Maggie McNair has Spiders in Her Hair, to the Lower School children.

Review from Pat Mackey, Barnes & Noble Community Relations

“Little girls, and boys alike, flocked to our store for the signing of Maggie McNair Has Spiders in Her Hair! More than 75 books were sold in one afternoon! The book has broad appeal and is a great read-a-loud. Author Sheila Booth-Alberstadt is delightful. She added to the excitement of the day by handing out treat bags to all who purchased a book! I highly recommend Sheila and Maggie McNair for an event in your store. Both the author and the character will captivate the audience!”
