Author Talk: Fred Small – Everything Possible
The Medford Public Library and All She Wrote Books welcome author Fred Small for a talk about his new picture book, "Everything Possible." The book is based on Small’s iconic folk song — a joyful lullaby about love and acceptance. It celebrates friendship and gently encourages all children to choose their own path, wherever it may take them. A singer-songwriter, activist, ally, and a former Unitarian Universalist minister, Small enjoys spreading his message of equality and inclusion with readers everywhere.
