Local author Valerie Hamill, will be selling and signing copies of her book, Here’s to the Silly Ones at
Linebaugh Public Library on Saturday, November 7th, 11a.m. to 1 p.m.
Valerie Hamill beautifully illustrates Seth Standley’s ode to those who can’t sit still, hate being bored and are industriously energetic. Those wonderfully unexpected children who make the world brighter. A cast of clever mice invites young readers to embrace creativity, individuality, and the confidence to be exactly who they are. This story promotes silliness as a superpower. Perfect for Storytime, classrooms, and family reading, this heartwarming read-aloud encourages children to embrace what makes them unique, find confidence in their own ideas, and discover that a little silliness can make the world a brighter place.
A joyful celebration of imagination, self-expression, and the courage to stand out from the crowd. For those who want to share poetry, lyricism and a delight in the world with children. Valerie Hamill loves to draw anything that involves a pencil line. She has illustrated for Yolimwon Publishing (Korea), Paseka Publishing (Czech Republic), Loyola University Press, Chicago Magazine, and True South Puzzle Company. She currently lives in Tennessee with her husband in a very old (and needy) house with two very large (and messy) magnolia trees. Her secret obsession is Herodotus. Hamill will accept Venmo and Paypal as payment on the day of the signing.
