Join us for a late morning Author Event with mother and daughter duo, Children’s Author Kristen Dobson and Illustrator Sophie Dobson! Kristen will read from her book Lolly and the ‘Tudes and share some of the inspiration for her writing. Sophie will share her artistic process with us as well. We will have copies of Kristen and Sophie’s book in house before and during the event, so be sure to grab a copy while we have them. Bring the kids by - this is a family affair!

"A refreshing story centered and grounded in the love of a grandmother for her grandchildren. . . . deep yet whimsical and lovingly real. . . . My heart is full." --Dr. Nancy P. Nekvasil, Professor Emerita and former President of Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, IN

Watch out for Opal and Arlie! Giggles may erupt. Tears may flow. Feet may dance or fists might fly. You just never know what emotions may be whirling around. These two are full of attitude. Does this make them less lovable? In this beautifully illustrated children's book, little boys and girls will see their own emotions reflected and be assured of their gramma's love no matter whether (or should we say "weather") they're happy or sad, silly or mad.

"'Lolly and the 'Tudes' is a brilliant reminder of the timeless love between a grandmother and her grandchildren--no matter the circumstances. Just like seasons, moods change, but Lolly's devotion to her grandchildren weathers all." --Dr. Becky Thompson, English Professor, North Greenville University

"A beautiful story that reassures children of a grandmother's unwavering love through every up and down of their emotions. A sweet tale to share with my grandchildren!"-Tricia Goyer, author of over 90 books, including Wonders of the Ocean Realm, and co-host of The Daily Bible Podcast. https://bookshop.org/p/books/lolly-and-the-tudes-kristen-n-dobson/22073183?ean=9798385035427&next=t
