LOCAL Houston | The City Guide JUNE 2016 | Page 11

According to the National Education Association (a division of the U.S. Department
of Education), children who are read to at home have a higher success rate in
school. Read your kids Berry’s Story by local illustrator Christy Sanderson who is
publishing her first children’s book this summer. Follow a very small strawberry ninja
on its journey to fulfill a destiny full of great things. Sanderson works both digitally
and traditionally to create the world of her 17+ original characters. She streams her
art live on Twitch.tv Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Keep up with development via
twitter @bekyoot and at @happipaper on Instagram.

We love when we find something special. That one-of-a-kind handmade item found on a special trip or at a flea market. The thrill of scoring the perfect gift for that someone special. Now imagine scoring that
sensation countless times. At Pop Shop Houston, the modern crafts
and art festival held at SILVER STREET STUDIOS JUNE 11 & 12, you’ll
find an artfully curated festival of handmade and vintage shopping,
art exhibitions, craft workshops and fun.
Famed concocted cocktails by Double Trouble Caffeine & Cocktails
will pair perfectly with a small bite tasting lounge featuring Kickin’
Kombucha, Bravado Spice, B Pop, Jolly Roger Jams, Food Music Live,
Red Dessert Dive, Whole Foods and more.
To set the atmosphere, there will be live performances by Gio
Chamba, Hayden Jones and Amy Wilkinson, Leybon, Mind Shrine,
DJs Czech One, Ceeplus Badknives and FREDster.
