Join us for our First Friday Happy Hour as we celebrate resident artist Jay Carlton and his amazing books that he writes and illustrates himself.

Jay will give a dramatic (over the top) reading of his two newest children’s book, “King of the Castle” and “A Better Place”. This will be the first public showing of “A Better Place”.

As usual we will have food, drinks and friendship to share!

A little bit about Jay’s books:

“King of the Castle” is about a willful, little boy with a colorful imagination, who doesn’t listen to his mother and wants to be in charge of everything around him. After trying over and over to be the boss of everything, from his school to the whole wide world, he learns the love and protection from his mother is what he really needs.

“A Better Place” is about a bald man, living in a black and white forest, who desperately wants colorful hair. After learning how to grow amazing, colorful hair he reluctantly feels the need to give it away, to the black and white world around him, to help make it a better place, only to continuously be left where he started, sad and bald.
