Children’s Author Reading & Craft

Join us for a children's author reading and craft.

Nan Carlton is an award-winning writer and illustrator of children’s books. Originally from western North Carolina, today, she and her husband divide their time between Richmond, Va. and Cape Charles, Va. Nan holds degrees in music education from Lenoir-Rhyne University and Appalachian State University. In 2024, her first two picture books, Huck, Chuck, & Bruce: At the Shore and You Can’t Judge a Bee by Its Color, were published.

The children will create a whimsical collage art project. (All materials will be provided.) As a special treat, each child will also receive one of Nan's handmade coloring books to take home.

No cost to attend, but registration required. Food and beverages are available for purchase in the market.
