Meet author Joy Keller as she discusses and signs copies of her two children’s books, Miss Turie’s Magic Creatures and Monster Trucks on Saturday, December 8, from 10:30AM-11:30AM at the Fairport Historical Museum. Each book sells for $15.00 and will be available for sale; cash only. During the book signing there will also be a visit from Santa Claus! This special event is part of Perinton Historical Society’s annual Yuletide Traditions and is free and open to the public.
Come explore Miss Turie's Magic Creatures, the most exotic pet store you've ever seen! Miss Turie guarantees to "have the pet that's right for you," but can she find a match for her toughest customer yet? Told in an upbeat, fast-paced rhyme, children will laugh as they learn about mythical creatures and contemplate what they might be like as a household pet. Following the story is a catalog of each featured creature with a more detailed history.
Monsters get to work―paving roads, plowing snow, hauling muck―with their monster trucks in this fun, rhyming picture book. With a gentle bedtime ending, this not-too-scary story is perfect for young monster and truck lovers.
All monsters love the autumn air,
just right to sneak and spook and scare.
But other seasons of the year,
they shift into a different gear.
Joy Keller is the author of fun and fantastic picture books, including Monster Trucks and her newest release, Miss Turie’s Magic Creatures. When she's not writing, she's teaching fourth graders how to write. She lives in Fairport with her husband, two children, and several cats.
