Antonio Sacre, internationally acclaimed children's author, storyteller, and performer, is the Naperville Reads children's author for 2012. His focus on family and story perfectly exemplifies the 2012 theme of "Everybody Has a Story. What's Yours?"

Sacre's visit to Naperville on February 8 and 9 will be busy with programs for every second grade student attending Naperville District 203 and 204 schools and some private schools. Antonio Sacre's public performance will be at Wentz Concert Hall, 171 E. Chicago Ave., on February 9 at 7:00 p.m. Sacre's performances center on his own family's stories and multicultural folk tales to illustrate meaningful and universal life lessons. It is sure to be an evening of enlightenment and laughter for the whole family!

Tickets to this unforgettable performance are FREE and available at all Naperville Public Library Children's Services desks and Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville.
