12:00 - 2:30 PM

A little about Kristin...

"Her articles and essays have appeared in numerous publications, including Poets & Writers Magazine, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Baltimore Review, San Diego Family Magazine, and The Gettysburg Review. Her column-The Fiction Writing Workshop-appears monthly in Writers on the Rise. In addition, Kristin teaches both fiction and nonfiction writing, curates Out Loud! The Shanghai Writers Literary Salon, and blogs like mad about her adventures (and misadventures) around the world."

"Kristin Bair O'Keeffe's Thirsty has all the power of a small miracle. The mysteries of nineteenth century, small town factory life-the sudden appearance of thousands of butterflies, an extraordinary affliction of hiccups, a talking bird-brilliantly transcend the accumulation of everyday cruelties. A remarkably good read."

-Joe Meno, author of The Great Perhaps and Hairstyles of the Damned

"Thirsty is a beautiful tale, vivid and gently told. It is the story of one woman's incredible strength of spirit, and a reminder of the foundation contemporary America is built upon-one of unspeakable cruelty, and Job-like suffering, as well as generosity and unbreakable hope."

-Don De Grazia, author of American Skin

October 12th - I Met a Moose in Maine One Day

Author Ed Shankman and Illustrator Dave O'Neill will be visiting Kennebooks to read and sign their children's book I Met a Moose in Maine One Day!

Join us at Kennebooks from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM on Monday, October 12th to take part in the fun!

"What child doesn't love making friends with animals? But a moose?! In this lovable creation from the team that brought us The Boston Balloonies, a moose walks right into a boy's home and introduces himself. The child narrator tells us: In Maine, as you know, / The moose come and go. / They relax in the streams. / They make tracks in the snow. / . . . That is why, in this case, / Something seemed out of place, / To be here with a moose / In my house, face to face." Together, boy and beast play hide-and-seek (not the best game for a moose), walk to the general store, then take a tour of Maine. They fly about in a seaplane, they run the Penobscot River on a raft made of logs, they hang out on a dock in Camden, and they finish off with some "chocolate moose cake" at a café in Portland!"
