Events at A Book For All Seasons

We love to support our local authors and our events allow us to give something back to the community as well. We offer book signings, talks, readings, writing workshops, and meals with an author—often accompanied with a slide show.

Come Meet Julie Paschkis,
Fabulous Children's Book Illustrator

Free Event!Nature into Art into Architecture
In a Gorgeous Children's Picture Book

Julie Paschkis

Join illustrator Julie Paschkis at A Book For All Seasons on Sunday, December 6, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM as she signs Building on Nature: the Life of Antoni Gaudi, the children's picture book that Booklist calls "a simply pure joy to look at."

His home is in Catalonia, a place of jagged mountain peaks and silvery olive trees, splashed by the sparkling sea. The wild beauty of this landscape makes a deep impression. He thinks of it as the Great Book of Nature, and he will read from it all of his life.

Building on Nature

Gaudí becomes an architect, learning the rules of form and structure that buildings are supposed to follow. But the shapes and colors of the natural world still inspire him, and he works them into his buildings. Leaves climb up walls. Pillars are giant animal feet. A long bench snakes around a playground.

Antoni Gaudí turned nature into art, and in the process he revolutionized the world of architecture.


Praise

"It is simply pure joy to look at." — Booklist, starred review

"How wild and wonderful imaginings are realized in architecture is the subject of ... this charming portrait of their Catalonian designer." — San Francisco Chronicle

"Rodriguez writes with a lyrical vitality...that suits her subject's radiant, innovative constructions." — Bulletin-Center Child Books
