Ricardo will read to us in the garden gazebo, then help us solve, or not solve, the book's central mystery. Inspired by Party: A Mystery, Ricardo will also help kids create their own surprising "mystery" art they can dedicate to fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or anyone special moments for Father's Day.
