Jim LaMarche

Please join us for a very special story time with celebrated local author and illustrator Jim LaMarche, who will read and sign copies of his wonderful new picture book, Lost & Found: Dog Stories. In three heartwarming stories, LaMarche lovingly depicts tales of being lost, being found, finding home, and, most important, the dogs who help us find our way. One lost dog is rescued, another pup leads a frightened child home, and a fractured family finds a fresh start through the love of a dog. Featuring LaMarche’s exquisite artwork, this joyful, touching collection will be cherished by anyone who has ever loved a dog.

 

Publishers Weekly says, “LaMarche's gentle artwork distinguishes this collection, gracefully rendering the special bond between dogs and children. The soft colors of autumn unite the stories visually, and the pages are full of activity. Even the endpapers are covered with portraits of the dogs, as though LaMarche's love for them has overflowed beyond the bounds of the stories.”

 

If you can't join us for this event, you can order a copy of Lost and Found to be signed by Mr. LaMarche at the event. Books must be paid for in advance and can either be shipped or held in the store for pick-up. Orders must be placed by Thursday, September 9th. Books can be personalized with a name and brief message, not more than 75 characters in length. There will be a chance for your to include the message in the special instructions area during check out (just after you enter payment information). Messages require the author's approval and are not guaranteed.
