Mock Awards Night @ The Gallery at Villageworks

The silver unicorn bookstore + True West Brewing co event

Join The Silver Unicorn Bookstore and True West Brewing Co. for the launch of Silver Unicorn’s inaugural Mock Awards program -- their new Mock Caldecott and Mock Newbery programs.

This fall, they're launching four new programs, with an eye toward both getting kids reading more and helping schools get good books for their classrooms and libraries in an efficient manner. The four programs are:

- Mock Caldecott: The books we think are contenders for the Caldecott Medal 

- Mock Newbery: The books we think are contenders for the Newbery Medal

- The Fun-decott: Picture books that probably won't receive Caldecott consideration, but are fun and engaging that your students will love.

- The Fun-bery: Chapter books that probably won't receive Newbery consideration, but are fun and engaging that your students will love.

Each program will feature 20 books, and schools, educators, and libraries can get a discount on them when they order either the whole set or most of the whole set (15 of 20). The Mock Caldecott program will also come with a free lesson plan for educators!!!

The unveiling of each list will be on this night, Mock Awards Night, and it will be a celebration in the finest sense. We will be joined by a powerhouse lineup - Aaron Becker, Winsome Bingham, Mary Lee Donovan, and Brian Lies!!!

True West Brewery will be on hand to sell food and drink, and we will have special presentations from authors and illustrators, and a whole lot more! Tickets are $20, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity. Buy tickets

This dinner is the first of a series in a project being pursued by our Chef Jon Gilman, the Feast Revival Project.  The goal of this project is to increase community engagement and discourse by promoting the revival of feasts: gatherings centered around seasonal food meant to create a communal setting that societies have depended on for centuries to facilitate social discourse. It will involve a delicious spread of food served family style in your group, along with a curated fun conversation from our guest speaker.  

For this dinner, we welcome Steve Verrill and the Verrill family to talk to us about local farming, the role they’ve played in the local community, how to eat locally in seasonal New England and other fun stories for the farm. Reserve Your Seat Now!
