(openPR) - Dunellen, NJ – The Dunellen Library will feature a talk and book signing by area resident Feather Schwartz Foster. “T: An Auto-Biography,” is a new children’s book, published by Red Engine Press, aimed at eight to thirteen-year-old (or grades 3-8). The event takes place on Wednesday, August 1, at 6:30, at the Dunellen Library, New Market Street, Dunellen. It is free and open to the public.
“The book is a real auto-biography,” said Foster. “It’s about a Model-T Ford, along the same lines as Black Beauty. It tells of the life and times of the card from it’s ‘birth’ – right off Henry Ford’s assembly line in the early 1920s, through the Roaring Twenties, the Depression, World War II, a stint as a demolition derby car in the 1950s – and beyond.
“This is a wonderful book not only for children and their parents, but for grandparents to give – and read – with their grandchildren, since so many of the car’s ‘experiences’ will trigger their own memories,” said Foster. “In my many talks around the state for my other (non-children’s) books, I have talked to dozens of seniors who are looking for a book they can not only give to their grandchildren, but can read along and identify with.”
She continued, “This is truly an intergenerational book. I certainly hope grandparents will take this opportunity to bring the grands to the book-signing, since they’ll have a wonderful time afterwards telling their grandchildren about their own memories of those years – and even the memories that their OWN parents and grandparents had!”
Delightfully illustrated by Kathe Gogolewski, “T: An Auto-Biography” is Foster’s first children’s book, although she has written more than a dozen children’s musical shows which have been performed numerous times throughout the state. She has also written two historical fiction novels, “LADIES: A Conjecture of Personalities” and “Garfield’s Train”.
