Children’s Library Readings

A book published by a local mom and her 10 year old son!

Jennifer and Colin White will be appearing at libraries throughout Metro West in March. They will be reading from Coolhead Luke and Other Stories, a children’s book of humorous poetry illustrated by Colin when he was ten years old, and written by his mother, Jennifer. Colin is currently a 7^th grader at Grafton Middle School.

Come meet the author and illustrator, hear and see some funny poems and illustrations and enjoy finding out how mom and son had the idea to publish a book together! Autographed books will be available for purchase as well. This event is ideal for children aged 7-12. There will be free gifts for all who attend!

The dates for the readings are as follows:

Westborough Public Library: Saturday, March 8^th at 10:30am

Southborough Public Library: Saturday, March 15^th at 11am

Shrewsbury Public Library: Monday, March 17^th at 2:30pm

Here is what parents, authors and teachers have said about Coolhead Luke:

Coolhead Luke is a fabulous collaborative effort between mother and son.
The son's wildly insightful drawings are perfectly matched by his mother's
lyrical stories that delight with intelligence, insight, plain fun, and wise moral endings.

Although this book is fun for everyone, books of poems that boys love are few and far between. This one truly delights and inspires my 10 year old son. And that ain't easy!

This is a 5-star book for middle-school kids and every imaginable adult! Read it out loud and find yourself belly-laughing while caught in the nets of surprisingly delightful insights in rhyme.

I read this book with my 8 year old son who LOVED it. The poems that go with the pictures could not be more clever.
