Story times and book signings scheduled for "Good Night Tahoe"
Submitted by paula on Thu, 06/30/2022 - 9:43pm
All aboard this alliterative alphabetical adventure before bedtime with a new book released by author Kevin Sullivan.
This dream-like "Good Night" journey takes the reader on a tour to meet Lake Tahoe’s native and common baby animals while they are enjoying recreational activities in some of the most remarkable places that make the lake region so magical.
Beddy-bye bear is boating; the coyote is camping in Carson City; the raccoon is rafting in Reno; the trout is tubing in Truckee; and many more surprises.
It is a book that reminds us of the incomparable beauty of Lake Tahoe. The places we have been, and want to visit. The animals that we have seen, and hope to see. And, the winter and summer activities that we have done, and dream of doing.
Sullivan is a part-time resident of Incline Village and is both a writer and an educat. He has written several Hawaii-themed books for young readers. He is passionate about raising awareness about protecting the environment, particularly the Lake Tahoe Basin and its flora and fauna. Kevin says he has many fond memories growing up of Tahoe ski trips and rafting the Truckee with his family. When he is not writing, he enjoys spending time with his three big dogs.
The illustrator Michael Furuya is an accomplished fine artist and a graduate of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He is passionate about environmental education. Michael was part of the creative duo of ‘Ohi’a Productions, which for a span of 15 years produced plays and a series of award-winning picture books for the children of Hawaii.
