FARMINGTON—Maine author Tonya Shevenell will be signing copies of her children’s book, The Maine Birthday Book, outside at DDG Booksellers from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5 in celebration of Chester Greenwood Day.
“One of my favorite characters in the book is a snowshoe hare from Franklin County, who loves to wear ear muffs in the snow. I named him Chester, so I’m very excited to be in Farmington for this year’s celebration of the inventor/entrepreneur he is named for,” Shevenell said.
The outdoor book signing will be conducted following the guideline of 6 feet social distancing and masks are required. If you are unable to attend or would prefer to pick-up a signed copy of the book at another time, you may pre-order books through DDG by stopping by, calling 778-3454, emailing your request to kenny@ddgbooks.com, or by ordering online from the website at https://www.ddgbooks.com/
The Maine Birthday Book celebrates the wildlife and geography of Maine through the birthday stories and special wishes of animal friends. The 52-page hardcover book features the watercolor illustrations of Laura Winslow, who Shevenell met on a farm in Southern Maine. Born and raised in the Portland area, Shevenell also wrote, filmed and edited a feature documentary called The Home Road, shown on Maine Public television and screened throughout Maine in 2017-2018.
