SUMMARY:Stories on the Square: Celebrating Differences on a Spectacular Saturday
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday morning\, November 7 (10:30 a.m. – Noon)\, we’ll be hosting TWO great children’s books and authors for a Spectacular Stories on the Square and Book Signing! \nJoining us will be Chris Singleton\, inspirational speaker and author of Different and Marybeth Wishart\, former teacher and author of Parker the Purple Penguin. The books will be read aloud and families can purchase copies from us\, personally signed by the authors. Both books carry excellent messages of inclusivity\, are beautifully and vibrantly illustrated\, and (ahem) make perfect holiday gifts! \nAND… our own amazing storytime reader Colleen Ratkleff will be here\, too! \nMeet Chris Singleton\nChris Singleton is a former professional baseball player in the Chicago Cubs organization as well as an inspirational speaker who has traveled the country passionately speaking to over 60\,000 students. Chris has also spread his message through various different media outlets and has been featured on ESPN’s E:60\, Sports Illustrated magazine\, CNN\, and USA Today. \nHis mother\, Sharonda Coleman Singleton\, was murdered along with eight other victims at Mother Emanuel AME church in Downtown Charleston\, South Carolina on June 17th 2015 by a white male who wanted to start a race-related war in the United States. Chris inspired his city and the nation by forgiving the man who murdered his mother and stating that “Love is stronger than hate.” \nChri’s children’s book teaches kids not only to accept\, but to celebrate\, people who are different from them. Different: A Story About Loving Your Neighbor tells the story of Obinna\, a boy who moves from Nigeria to Charleston\, and finds that he doesn’t look\, sound\, or dress like his classmates. Singleton’s mother\, Sharonda\, makes an appearance in the book as Obinna’s teacher\, who reminds him that he is “beautifully and wonderfully made.” It’s a thoughtful tribute to the woman who first taught Singleton about love’s healing power. \nMeet Marybeth Wishart\nMarybeth Wishart is a retired special education teacher who has taught at both the elementary and high school level for over thirty-four years. She is a Connecticut native now living in South Carolina and trying as many new things as possible\, including publishing her first children’s book. \nParker the Purple Penguin is a story she told her own children on their way to school over thirty years ago. Its messages are as relevant now as they were then\, and birthed from the beautiful differences of her classroom kids. Marybeth would love to publish more of her children’s stories and to use Parker the Purple Penguin to support anti-bullying\, diversity\, and children’s literacy programs. \nParker the Purple Penguin doesn’t get why he is ignored and ostracized by his fellow penguins. Why don’t they like him\, when they have so many things in common? Why is he ignored by all of the other penguins just because of his purple coloring? Is there anything Parker can do to try to fit in? \nFollow Parker’s story as he confronts his differences\, and see how the other penguins change their behavior as Parker tries hard to blend in with the crowd. Parker’s tale is a journey of self-discovery as he learns to accept himself in the midst of bullying and peer pressure. \n(Hint: Fans of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer will love this book!)

SUMMARY:Booksigning: Josie Olsvig Debuts Gullah Tears
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us Saturday afternoon\, November 7th\, to celebrate the debut of a lowcountry historical novel and book signing with the author\, Josie Olsvig! \nGullah Tears: In the Deep South of antebellum Charleston\, enslaved Gullah woman Hentie survives the day-to-day sufferings brought on by the white planter society that controls the institution of slavery. From Hentie’s abduction and confinement on a slaver ship\, we follow her journey of pain and despair as she begins her new life in a land that causes her much heartache and oppression. Her circumstances are buoyed by the warmth\, love\, and support of her fellow enslaved workers\, who lift her up and encourage her to continue on. \nJosie Olsvig is a new Southern author who lives outside Charleston. A former attorney\, Josie spent her career addressing child abuse\, domestic violence\, and sexual assault. Her call to service was spurred by growing up in poverty in the inner city\, experiencing hardship\, strife\, and violence. Josie worked for nearly thirty years as a public servant and advocate. In the twilight of her career\, Josie served on a statewide committee to combat human trafficking in her home state of Ohio. \nAfter moving to the South\, she became deeply interested in the Gullah culture and race-based slavery. Leveraging her legal research skills\, she interviewed Gullah slave descendants\, conducted site visits\, and researched archival records. Her first book\, Growing Up Gullah in the Lowcountry\, is a children’s picture book about the Gullah culture\, heirs’ property\, and the history of Charleston. Gullah Tears is Josie’s debut historical fiction novel\, the first in a series.

SUMMARY:Booksigning: Joe Palmer with A Mariner's Tale
DESCRIPTION:Join us Sunday\, November 8th\, from noon ’til 2 pm for a very special signing with Joe Palmer\, hot on the heels of his feature appearance at the Pat Conroy Literary Festival in Beaufort on Saturday! \nWe’ll have refreshments and Joe will chat about his amazing novel. Copies will be on sale at the book club price (10% off) and can be personalized by the author for yourself or the perfect holiday gift. Here’s what other amazing authors are saying about this rich and rewarding tale: \n“A Mariner’s Tale is a stunning debut: a seafaring novel rich with lush imagery and colorful characters from an exciting new voice in Southern fiction. With deft narrative skill\, the author takes the protagonist\, a cynical middle-aged mariner\, and his protege\, a troubled young man\, on a voyage of self-discovery that begins on an island in Florida and ends in an Irish fishing village. You don’t want to miss this beautifully crafted page-turner!” \n– Cassandra King\, bestselling author of Tell Me a Story: My Life with Pat Conroy \n“Hard-edged and gripping.  An intriguing mix of hope and fear.  Fans of Pat Conroy’s evocative novels are going to love this stirring debut.” \n– Steve Berry\, New York Times bestselling author of The Warsaw Protocol \n“A Mariner’s Tale is a richly rendered story scented with sea spray and filled with salty characters seeking grace\, mercy and second chances. Palmer writes with heart and authenticity\, bringing to life an unfortgettable crew worthy of the love and redemption we each hope to find in this life.” – \nNicole Seitz\, author of The Cage-Maker \n“A beautifully drawn sea-faring tale built around a marina full of lovingly flawed characters who have\, in different ways\, been floundered by life; who in rescuing each other\, manage to rescue themselves. Set in the lush beauty of the inlets\, streams and maritime world of North Florida\, A Mariner’s Tale is told with great heart and uncommon compassion by an author who knows the life of tide and salt and of the sea.” \nJanis Owen\, author of American Ghost \nPart nautical yarn\, part romance\, and part coming-of-age story\, A Mariner’s Tale is a page-turner\, but Joe Palmer’s beautiful prose slows the pace to a perfect rhythm\, allowing the reader to participate in the wonders of nature and the resilience of the human heart on a barrier island just off the northeast coast of Florida. \n—Susan Cushman\, author of Friends of the Library and Cherry Bomb\, and editor of Southern Writers on Writing

SUMMARY:Living Large Bookclub: November Pick - Caste
DESCRIPTION:Join us November 17th live or via Zoom (details below) when our “Living Large” book club discusses the best-selling book Caste. \nNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK – The Pulitzer Prize-winning\, bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions. \nLONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD – “An instant American classic.”–Dwight Garner\, The New York Times \n“As we go about our daily lives\, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater\, flashlight cast down in the aisles\, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power–which groups have it and which do not.” \nIn this brilliant book\, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores\, through an immersive\, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people\, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system\, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. \nBeyond race\, class\, or other factors\, there is a powerful caste system that influences people. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84550929622?pwd=YW15MjdxY2JkZTFEUFlzZEJZZ3NYdz09 \nMeeting ID: 845 5092 9622\nPasscode: 111720
