Several authors on hand from 10 'til noon to talk about and sign their books:

D. B. Johnson | Palazzo Inverso

Johnson channels M.C. Escher in this delightful picture book. With its continuous narrative and illustrations that can be viewed upside down, this book allows readers to flip over at the last page and read all the way back to the beginning.

Geoff Hansen & Jennifer Megyesi | The Joy of Keeping a Root Cellar: Canning, Freezing, Drying, Smoking and Preserving the Harvest

This duo is back with a comprehensive, full-color guide to root cellaring-storing vegetables, meat, and more.

Pamela & Jon Voelkel | Jaguar Stones: Middleworld: Book 1

Pam and Jon Voelkel - fresh from The Today Show with the brand new, paperback edition of their Maya adventure...revised, re-edited and with new illustrations! This is the fast-paced story of a pampered fourteen-year-old from Boston and a rainforest-savvy Maya teen who must navigate haunted temples and fight zombie armies to save the world.

Sarah Stewart Taylor | Amelia Earhart: This Broad Ocean

This biography of aviatrix Amelia Earhart focuses on Amelia's triumphant crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in 1928, offering readers a glimpse at her relentless ambition and tireless will to promote women's rights. Told from the perspective of a young reporter, this graphic-novel format book is perfect for readers ten and older. (Illustrated by Ben Towle.)

Leda Schubert | Feeding the Sheep

As playful as it is informative, this rambunctious read-aloud picture book features a mother and daughter making a game of their wooly enterprise. (Illustrated by Andrea U'Ren.)

Laurie Levinger | Just a Dropped Stitch

This memoir, told in interlocking stories, reads like “a family photo album where each snapshot tells its own mini-story.”
