Children’s Author Visit

Monday, November 8th at 3:30 p.m.

South Florida local authors, Petrell Marie Özbay (Parkland) and Tess La Bella (Boynton Beach) will read their new children’s picture book from Boyds Mills Press, Merry Witchmas. The book follows Ginger the witch who wants nothing more than a visit from Santa. But what’s a witch to do when Santa doesn’t believe in witches? The book has received high praise from the publishing industry being touted as “fun and engaging” and a “clever, dizzying mashup of Halloween and Christmas.” The authors will provide fun coloring activities for the kids, take questions and be happy to sign their book, available nationally wherever books are sold. Ozbay has a background in PR & marketing and has written for global thought leaders. La Bella is a SAG/AFTRA voice actor and has been recognized with various South Florida community leadership awards. They both believe in Santa! Parkland Library card required to register.
