A book signing and Dave Villareal on guitar! Today at SCM, Hoy Park 5-7pm.
Food Pantry volunteer and W**d resident, Anna Grossnickle Hines, has a secret past. Between 1981 and 2017 she wrote and/or illustrated sixty-nine books for children. The great majority of those books are now out-of-print, but Anna has a limited supply of a few titles that she is offering to help support Siskiyou Food Assistance.
In the mid-nineties, inspired by her mother’s quilting, Anna began illustrating some of her books with fabric. The first, PIECES: A YEAR IN POEMS AND QUILTS, won numerous honors including the Lee Bennett Hopkins Award for Excellence in Poetry. Anna followed it with two more quilt and poetry collections, WINTER LIGHTS and PEACEFUL PIECES: POEMS AND QUILTS ABOUT PEACE, and for younger children 1,2 BUCKLE MY SHOE, each of which received multiple starred reviews. These books make nice gifts for quilters and poetry lovers of all ages, as well as children.
Anna is offering copies of four of her out-of-print books to benefit Siskiyou Food Assistance. I’ll be at the Shastina Community Market on Tuesday, August 16, in Hoy Park from 5-7 to share and sign books. Make a minimum $20 donation to SFA and receive a personally signed book.
For those who don’t know me—which is pretty much everyone!—I’m a retired author and illustrator with 69 published books, now living in W**d with my husband Gary Hines who grew up in Mount Shasta. Hope to meet and chat with some of you!
