It is not uncommon to have the opportunity to meet book authors in our community. The public library and two big-chain bookstores in town and the very active Toadstool Bookstore in Milford, NH often host "meet the author" events throughout the year. But imagine being able to meet a real, live book character!!! How cool would that be?? Well, children and their families will have the opportunity to do just that on Thursday, February 28th at 2pm in the Children's Room of the Nashua Public Library. Emily Elizabeth, Clifford the Big Red Dog's owner will be here reading a story, signing autographs and posing for pictures. Clifford the Big Red Dog is the creation of author/illustrator, Norman Bridwell , and the little girl character in all of the Clifford books was based on his own daughter, Emily Elizabeth.The first 100 children to attend will receive a free "Clifford and the Big Storm" children's book. Woo-hoo!! This event is being presented courtesy of Collins Dentistry for Children in Pelham, NH and the Lowell Spinners. So come on down and join us as we welcome Emily Elizabeth to Nashua and send along a big hello and thank you to her dad for creating one of the most beloved dogs ever in the children's book world.
