Local Authors Who Write for Kids

My friend Jane from Bear Pond Books, just sent me an e-mail with information about local author events:

LINDA URBAN- Saturday October 8th at 11 am for Hound Dog True"Urban (A Crooked Kind of Perfect) traces a highly self-conscious child's cautious emergence from her shell in this tender novel about new beginnings and "small brave" acts... Urban's understated, borderline naïf narrative gives voice to Mattie's many uncertainties while expressing the quiet yet significant moments in her day-to-day life. Mattie's growing trust of others and her attempts to be "bold and friendly" lead to gratifying rewards for Mattie and poignant moments for readers.."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
KATHERINE & JOHN PATERSON- Saturday, October 22nd at 11 am for The Flint HeartA reimagined version of a fairy tale originally written by Eden Phillpott in 1910, with wonderfully bold illustrations by John Rocco. "A grand tale skillfully updated and tightened up, this should win the hearts of a new generation." -Kirkus, starred review
STORYTELLING & LEFTOVERS,  a Post-Thanksgiving Author Jamboree- Friday, November 25th at 11 am
Including: Leda Schubert, David Martin, Beth Kannell, Reeve Lindbergh and Kate Messner, all of whom have new books this fall!! For more information about this event contact me at the address below.
