Come to our Local Author Showcase!
We're thrilled to have six local authors joining us at our Local Author Showcase on Saturday, October 7th, from 2-4 p.m. And we even have a special guest star--Kathryn Otoshi! Click on the author's name or photo to go to their website, or on the book covers to get more information about their books. Join us for the fun next Saturday!
Kathryn Otoshi is a multi-award winning author/illustrator and national/international speaker best known for her character-building book series: Zero, One, and Two.
Her newest book, Draw the Line comes out on Tuesday, October 10th and makes a powerful statement about forgiveness and healing after conflict. Kathryn regularly visits schools across the U.S. using art and literature to interact with kids and teachers. Her books are local favorites and we're delighted she is able to join us! Please note that while her new book will not officially be available for sale at the time of the event, we can take orders and if we have stock on the day we can ask her to sign the book to be ready for you to pick up on Tuesday, October 10th--hot off the press!

Something different...
Larry's book talk for book clubs last week was so absorbing that we, um, forgot to take any photos! Never mind, it's all about the books, and we do have a list of the titles he featured
on the front page of our website. We also have a printed list with short descriptions of some of the books--ask us for a copy when you are in the store.
We love the picture book display in front of our counter--it features the new picture books we love above all others! Although that's a tough call with so many wonderful picture books around, we took a photo of the display last week which featured a particularly heartfelt collection. Many of these books, and others, are collected in a list on our website that we've called
Beautiful Picture Books to Inspire! Picture books are powerful things, as
this article by Kathryn Otoshi, beautifully explains. Join us on Saturday, October 7th to meet Kathryn, talk picture books, and discover her newest book!
