We’re so excited to welcome children's book author & illustrator Charnelle Pinkney Barlow to Bobzbay Books for a fun, free, and family-friendly story time & book signing!
Join us on Saturday, May 23rd from 10am-12pm to hear Charnelle read two of her books, 'Two Artists, Grandad and Me' and 'Little Rosetta and the Talking Guitar'. Then stick around after story time for a book signing with the author! Books both authored and illustrated by Charnelle Pinkney Barlow will be available for purchase & signing at the event.
Story Time will take place in the kid's room starting at 10:15am with a book signing in the front room to follow until 12pm. We will have a limited seating area (~10-12 chairs) available during story time, so we encourage folks to show up early at 10am to snag a seat!
