Last Minute Weekend Suggestions: Brooklyn Heights and Nearby

This Sunday, June 16, starting at 10:30 a.m., author Emily Jenkins and illustrator Stephanie Graegin of the new children’s book Water in the Park will be at the Empire-Fulton Ferry section of Brooklyn Bridge Park (adjacent to Jane’s Carousel and the Tobacco Warehouse) will talk, read, and draw for the benefit of young readers and artists. A book signing will follow. Jenkins and Graegin are both Brooklynites and the book was inspired by Prospect Park. BBP’s Maureen Lynch says, “It will be a really fun event and a great way to kick off Father’s Day with the family.”
