ASHEBORO – What happens when an elderly woman grows too
frail plant her garden as usual, and the balance in the world shifts from
beauty to ugliness?
Find out as journalist Chip Womick debuts his first
children’s book, Mrs. McGillicutty’s Last Sunflower, beautifully
illustrated by Argentinean artist Marina Saummell, in an event that will
feature a reading of the story and spring-related games and crafts, at 5:30
p.m. Tuesday, March 22, at the Asheboro Public Library. Womick also will answer
audience questions.
It’s free and all ages are invited.
Womick has been writing mostly for newspapers — and mostly
for The Courier-Tribune — for the last 30 years.
After penning Remembering Randolph County: Tales from the
Center of the State, and assisting centenarian John Pugh with a memoir, he
wanted to see on the printed page some of the children’s stories he has
written. He hopes that Mrs. McGillicutty’s Last Sunflower is the first
of many from his new publishing company, Peacelight Press
(peacelightpress.com).
The library is located at 201 Worth Street. For further
information, call 336-318-6804.
