Sunday, December 14th, from 1:00-3:00pm meet Kirby Larson!

On Sunday, December 14th, from 1:00-3:00pm, we hope you'll stop by ABFAS to meet Kirby Larson, the co-author of Two Bobbies: A True Story of Hurricane Katrina, Friendship, and Survival. A Junior Library Guild Selection and chosen one of the Top Ten Books of the Season by The Indie Next List, this book will be a holiday hit for the children on your list!

Two Bobbies: Bobbi and Bob Cat are the best of friends. When their hometown of New Orleans was struck by Hurricane Katrina, many lost everything. But not Bobbi and Bob Cat-they still had each other. Only by staying together could they survive.

This moving story about the importance of friendship and home highlights the plight of the hurricane's lost and left-behind animals, as well as the value of animal shelters. A wonderful book for ages 4 and up.

Authors Kirby Larson and Mary Nethery are the best of friends, just like Bobbi and Bob Cat. They first saw the Two Bobbies on Anderson Cooper 360° and found hope in the Bobbies' story of friendship and survival. Kirby is the acclaimed author of many books for children, including the 2007 Newbery Honor Book Hattie Big Sky. Mary is the author of many picture books, including Mary Veronica's Egg.
