NEXT KILLINGWORTH AUTHOR
EVENT:
Our own GAYLE BYRNE!
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12th,
3:00pm
Gayle read from her children’s
picture book “Sometimes It’s Grandmas and Grandpas Not Mommies
and Daddies”, and will also offer a sneak preview of her
upcoming title “Sometimes Just One is Just Right”. "My editors
at Abbeville were so encouraged by the success of 'Sometimes
It's Grandmas And Grandpas' they approached me to consider 'an
assignment' to keep the momentum going. They wanted me to take
that same gentle, reassuring voice and use it with another
childhood situation - being an 'only child'. Again, through the
eyes of a youngster we get a glimpse into another unusual and
yet not uncommon, family dynamic - this time, the life of an
ONLY!"
Gayle can usually be found reading with little ones at
Killingworth Library, where she has been the Children’s
Librarian for twelve years. An award-winning educator, she
previously taught English and Child Development. Byrne is an
active member of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren and lives
happily with her granddaughter, Jasmine, and Jazzy’s Poppy in
Killingworth. The event is free but advance sign up is
encouraged. Please call the library at 860.663.2000 for
additional details.
