More Information

Join author Becky Manfredini and illustrator-writer, Meredith Gould, as they discuss their decades-long friendship that culminated in developing a children’s book series published by The Pilgrim Press: Slug and Snail Search for Home, Slug and Snail Search for Love, and Slug and Snail Search for Peace. They’ll share the inspiration for creating the main characters, Slug and Snail, two BFFs who search for the meaning of home, love, and peace.

The series focuses on these basic concepts for building a child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development, and will be explored during the webinar. Becky and Meredith will share how their lifelong love of books is one element at the core of their collaboration. They’ll also focus on finding inspiration, creative processes, and how they worked individually and as a team to create a compelling storyline, through showing and telling.

Reading Into the New Year webinar series is a longer series where at the start of every year, Nurture the Soul partners with Pilgrim Press to invite you to lead a book discussion in your own congregational or community settings in 2026.
