Meet Author Patricia Toht Saturday February 16th 11am-2pm |
|||||
Her latest children's book is DRESS LIKE A GIRL where a diverse cast of slumber party participants considers the most time-honored traditions for how to dress. If a lady should wear white in summertime, then how about donning a spacesuit? If team colors are apropos at sporting events, why not wear helmets and play ball? Wonderfully illustrationed by Lorian Tu-Dean. Her previous picture books include, PICK A PINE TREE, that celebrates the holiday tradition of turning a pine tree into a Christmas wonder and ALL ABOARD THE LONDON BUS, her debut picture book. In this delightful book, a series of child-friendly poems follows a family of four as they spend a day visiting sights and experiencing all that makes London a vibrant and wonderful city. For more information please call the bookstore at (630) 584-8600. |

Meet Author Marnie O. Mamminga Saturday July 22 11am-2pm |
|||||
With insight and humor, Mamminga chronicles a wide range of small-but-significant moments, including the anxiety of taking a teenager out for driving lessons, the nostalgic pleasure of watching the Cubs at Wrigley Field, the heartache of moving an aging parent into a nursing home, and the quiet bliss of sitting on a cabin's porch under a starry North Woods sky. Her sharply observed vignettes on the extraordinarily ordinary rhythms of Midwestern life chart our shared passages from childhood to adulthood, working life to retirement, parenthood to grandparenthood and everything in between. With compassion and humor, Mamminga proves that our most personal experiences can unite us and that the most ordinary aspects of our lives can also be the most beautiful. For more information please call the bookstore at (630) 584-8600. |
