 Meet award winning author and illustrator G. Brian Karas. Brian has written and illustrated so many of our favorite children’s books including: Young Zeus, Clever Jack Takes the Cake, Lemonade in Winter, Big Bad Bunny, Car Wash, Home on the Bayou, Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! and many more. He will be reading from the book he illustrated Neville.
Neville puts an inspired twist on the age-old challenge of making new friends. Author Norton Juster, best known for The Phantom Tollbooth, uses a minimum of text to great effect, melding beautifully with G. Brian Karas’s mixed media illustrations to tell the story.
Brian will discuss what it is like to be an author/illustrator and he will also bring the tools of his trade to do some illustrations and demonstrations.
This program is for all ages.
