About the event

Golden Sower Author Visit with Picture Book Author/Illustrator Jared Chapman
Golden Sower nominated author/illustrator Jared Chapman will be visiting the Norfolk Public Library to lead two exciting sessions!

Author Talk
September 27 at 10 a.m. (open to all - no registration needed)

Jared Chapman, the author and illustrator of the Golden Sower nominated rollicking tale, "Seals Are Jerks," will be visiting to chat about:

-- His life as a picture book creator
-- How he comes up with funny ideas—like animals breaking all the rules
-- What inspires his colorful drawings

This is your chance to hear where jokes begin and how a simple question—“Are seals jerks?”—can turn into a whole story full of giggles and surprises.

Jared Chapman, autor e ilustrador nominado al Golden Sower, visitará la Biblioteca Pública de Norfolk para impartir dos sesiones emocionantes.
