Family events in Broken Arrow, OK

Meet author Ms. Parker Harrison for a book signing at Tulsa Play & Cafe in Bixby. Princess Oni: Chronicles of North Country is a medieval fantasy for ages 8 to 12, filled with friendship and adventure. The story is safe yet exciting, aligned with Biblical values without being preachy, and is inspired by Ephesians 1:5. Follow Unoni on the journey to becoming Princess Oni, with a focus on identity shaped not by place or circumstances but by relationship with the Father. It also works well as a family read aloud. Books will be available to purchase at the event, or bring copies purchased ahead of time. Seasonal treats and coffee for moms will be available. The author may sign your book for you or a friend. Books are also available locally or on Amazon.

A dedicated heart screening for children and teens will take place at Bixby High School, offering a simple HeartCheck designed to catch serious cardiac conditions that often show no outward signs and may be missed during routine checkups or sports physicals. My HeartCheck focuses on early detection so families can gain clarity and take steps to protect a child’s health. A child may look and feel well, yet an issue can still be hidden in the heart, and this screening is intended to bring those concerns to light and provide peace of mind. Financial aid is available through partnerships with the Strive for Life Foundation and the Jordan Robert Mann Foundation.
