Author Event: Deirdre Kessler – Brenda Jones – Judy Gaudet
Join us in store Friday December 12th, as authors Deirdre Kessler, Brenda Jones, and Judy Gaudet are in store signing copies of their books!
Deirdre Kessler and Brenda Jones collaborated on the highly successful ‘Born! A Foal, Five Kittens and Confederation.‘
In Born!, nine-year-old twins Gabriel and Grace help their parents run the Great George Street Livery Stables in Charlottetown. They are part of all the excitement as a circus comes to town and as politicians arrive by steamship from the Maritimes and the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. The twins have drawing lessons with their friend, fourteen-year-old artist Robert Harris, who plays in the band that entertains the delegates at a grand banquet and ball at Province House. But the twins are most excited about their favourite horse, who is about to give birth to her first foal.
Judy Gaudet writes about the love of nature and the Island that shapes her response to a sometimes troubled world in Conversation with Crows.
Crows may have something to tell us. But are we listening? Despair over our destructiveness, gratitude for a life being lived, hope that patterns greater than ours will continue: these are the three crows that call to us in these poems.
When: Friday, December 12th, 12:00pm-2:00pm
Where: Bookmark, Charlottetown
