## About

Magician and local children's author Erica Carlson brings her Joyful Hedgehog Magic Show to Westerville Public Library, starring Sedgewick, a real live hedgehog. The show builds a magical adventure around the things that bring kids joy, like singing, reading and playing with pets, and ties in with her book Sedgie the Hedgie Finds the Treasure. There are two identical 45-minute sessions, at 10 and 11 a.m.; the library asks families to attend only one. It suits toddlers, preschoolers and early-elementary kids, and a parent or caregiver age 18 or older must stay in the room with any child age 7 or younger.
