June 7th 11am – 12pm
Join us for a special storytime with author Jaclyn Inzalaco-Angelo! She will be reading her newest book, Angelo the Tangelo Celebrates His Family Tree, and will have copies available to sign. 

Author Bio:

Jaclyn first imagined the character of Angelo the Tangelo as a young girl, while sitting around the kitchen table with her family enjoying fruit after dinner. In her Italian household, it was a long-standing tradition to have a fruit course, a custom passed down from her father, Angelo, who was born in Sicily. This simple and cherished family ritual sparked Jaclyn’s creativity, and all these years later, Angelo the Tangelo has finally come to life in her debut children’s book.

For Jaclyn, bringing Angelo the Tangelo to readers is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. She has always had a passion for working with children, which is reflected in her career as a pediatric occupational therapist. Jaclyn specializes in helping children with Autism, a role that allows her to make a meaningful impact on the lives of young learners. In addition to her therapy work, she is also an adjunct professor at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut.

When Jaclyn isn’t busy working with children or teaching, she enjoys spending her free time immersed in some of her favorite activities. She loves getting lost in a good book, watching movies, and staying active by playing tennis and pickleball.

Now, with Angelo the Tangelo Celebrates His Family Tree, Jaclyn is excited to share her story with children and families, spreading a message of family, inclusion, and the beauty of celebrating what makes us unique.

Book Summary:

Family Tree Day should be fun, but Angelo the Tangelo is nervous. Unlike his classmates, whose parents are the same type of fruit, Angelo’s dad is a pomelo, and his mom is a tangerine! Will his friends understand his special family, or will they think he doesn’t belong? With the help of his wise and caring teacher, Mrs. Kapple, Angelo learns that differences are what make every family special, and soon all the fruit children discover the beauty in their own unique backgrounds.

Angelo the Tangelo Celebrates His Family Tree is the perfect addition to any child’s bookshelf, as well as an excellent resource for teachers and parents looking to foster conversations about family and acceptance.

The idea for The Poop Museum arrived on October 3rd 2020, as Susie was sitting in her back yard. She and her nephew Henry, shared a love of lavatorial humour, and were always leaving each other funny poopy messages. Susie decided to write Henry a book. It was called “Attack of the Notorious Poop Monkey” and the story was set in A Poop Museum.

Susie loved the idea so much that she launched The Poop Museum program the same day, and the rest is history.
