Book Signing Celebration:
A Young Author's First Chapter
Join us for a heartwarming book signing event celebrating the debut publication of a very special young author—my six-year-old grandson—as he proudly signs copies of his very first book!
This event is more than just a celebration of a child’s creativity—it's a powerful reminder of the importance of reading, punctuation, word usage, and the joy of storytelling from a young age. As his grandfather, I had the honor of publishing my own book at this very venue last year, and now it's his turn to take center stage.
Hosted by our East Texas-based non-profit, dedicated to building lasting relationships and offering second chances—especially for ex-offenders—this event bridges generations, showing that with support and encouragement, everyone has a voice worth hearing.
Come out and support a new young author, enjoy refreshments, hear a special reading from his book, and witness the power of literacy, love, and legacy in action.
📚 Date & Time: August 2nd 10am-12 (noon)
📍 Location: Tyler Public Library 201 S College Ave, Tyler, TX 75702
🎉 All ages welcome – let's inspire the next generation of storytellers together
