Program Description

Event Details

“Count Your Chickens Before It Rains,” a story filled with laughter and adventure, with lessons along the way!

Alessandra’s day starts out just like every other day… collecting eggs in her chicken coop. This particular day takes a turn though, when clouds roll in. What will Alessandra do with her chickens?

 

Kristyn Gentile is a wife & mom, living out her dream of publishing her first children’s book. When she was a little girl, she used to carry around pocketbooks full of stories. She was inspired to write this particular story after her family first started raising backyard chickens, and she’d watch her daughter wrangle them in the backyard. 

She’s a debut AUTHOR. She has a huge passion for empowering other mamas through fitness, connection, and motivation to chase after their dreams together with their babies. 

 

Books will be available to purchase and for signing. Books will cost $20 and can be paid for with cash or Venmo.
