The Whiteside Forum’s annual book discussion will be led by crowd-favorite Professor Jessica Roisen of St. Ambrose University, on the topic of Parenting, on Sunday, February 22, 2026. Our book is “Hunt, Gather, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy, Helpful, Little Humans.”
Written by Michaeleen Doucleff, it is a #1 bestseller on Amazon’s Children’s Studies list and is also a N.Y. Times bestseller. Summaries of the book are also available online.
Please join us at 2:00 p.m., on February 22, in the Community Room of Odell Public Library, 307 S. Madison Street, in Morrison, IL. We will explore both ancient wisdom and current realities on perhaps one of our most important tasks in life: to raise happy, healthy, and productive children.
This event is not just for parents. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, caregivers, friends, neighbors, and the community are all part of the equation.
All Whiteside Forum events are free and open to the public. For more information about this event or the Whiteside Forum, contact Marc Adami by email at marcadami53@gmail.com or text 815-718-5347.
