Laurelhurst has a new children's book author - Katherine Burk.
And you can catch her reading her new book, Finding Mr. Ness, tomorrow from 4:30-6:30 at Cafe O'Play, just behind the University Village.
At this free event, she will also be working with kids on writing and sharing their own stories. And there will be coloring, games and puzzles as well.
Finding Mr. Ness was co-written by Katherine and her mother, Gloria Burke of the San Francisco Bay Area, and was published in January. It is their first publication together.
"In the story, Clayton and Annie are best friends whose curiosity about an old microscope, a postage stamp and an eccentric scientist named Mr. Ness leads them on a journey to a strange land called Tilania, where they are swept into a desperate attempt to save a doomed civilization.
The book is especially suited for chapter readers in the 2nd through 5th grades," Katherine tells us.
"What began as a way for mother and daughter to connect despite the miles between them has turned into a successful cooperative writing relationship, and it has only just begun," Katherine adds.
The authors are currently writing the next book in The Tilania Travelers Series, called The Scrolls of Tilania.
Finding Mr. Ness can be purchased at City People's on Sand Point Way NE or on Amazon.com.
Here is an article from The Orinda News that Katherine and her my mom, aka her writing partner, wrote about writing as a mother/daughter team (see page 15).
