About this Event
Ride! A New Children's Book Release Party for kids and parents alike at Vinyl Tap + Tabla Rasa
Come celebrate the release of Ride, a new picture book by Nashville illustrator and author Kristina (KJ) Parish.
This is a children’s book launch, but also a deeply local celebration of the creative process.
Come to Vinyl Tap from 4–6 PM on Sunday, September 20, with a special read-aloud at 4:30 PM outside Tabla Rasa, just across the street.
Novelette Bookstore will be on-site at Vinyl Tap, selling copies of Ride. Pick up a copy, support your local bookstore, and have it signed in person.
Books, ice cream, play things, and beverages—there is something for everyone.
4:00 PM — Celebration Begins at Vinyl Tap
4:30 PM — Read-aloud of Ride outside Tabla Rasa
After the reading — Book signings and merriment. Visit with the author at Vinyl Tap until 6 PM.
Bring the kids. Bring a friend. Come hear the story. Celebrate human creativity devoid of robot intervention. We're all in this together, as Ride aims to show you.
See you there!
About Ride
A catalpa worm lives right where it belongs—in the canopy of an enormous, beautiful tree with heart-shaped leaves. Life is pretty great…until the storm comes. What follows is an adventure of upheaval, unlikely bonds that make all the difference, and the quiet discovery that the thing you were born with—the thing so ordinary to you it’s nearly invisible—might be exactly what someone else needs.
