Come to our next book event to meet author Joyce Pixley and photographer Maribeth Degyansky who collaborated to create Owlvin Wises Up.  The book is about a great horned owl named Owlvin who learns to feel good about himself.  The amazing real life photographs of birds, insects and mammals along with a summary of interesting facts about them provide an educational aspect into the book.  The book will be loved by readers and animal lovers.  It is is perfect for families with young children and also will be wonderful to use by teachers.

Fun fact:  The author and photographer are two grandmothers who share common grandchildren.  Joyce Pixley is a lifelong educator.

JEN TOUSEY BOOK EVENT - SUNDAY, NOV. 24th, 3:00-4:00pm @ BLACK DOG BOOKS.

Come meet author, educator, reenactor, historian, mother, JEN TOUSEY -  who will be talking about her book, Sarah had a Little Plan.  Jen's clever poem/book tells the story of how 'Sarah Josepha Hale tried for 40 years to have the nation come together, set aside differences, and collectively celebrate one day to give thanks.  Finally, with the help of President Abraham Lincoln, that dream became a reality, and each November, we now have the national holiday known as Thanksgiving.

Told in the canter of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" (which was written by Sarah Josepha Hale), Sarah had a Little Plan is the story of how a single mother of five in the Civil War era championed a message of unity and peace.'

This event is free.  Light refreshments will be served.  Please call (317)733-1747 to reserve your copy/copies!
