Author Feather Schwartz Foster will sign copies of her new book, "T: An Auto-Biography" at BEA, on June 1.
May 31, 2007 (Press Release) --
New York, NY –Feather Schwartz Foster will be a featured author at a book signing at the 2007 Book Expo America, at Javits Center, June 1-3. Her latest publication, “T: An Auto-Biography,” is a new children’s book, published by Red Engine Press, aimed at eight to thirteen-year-old (or grades 3-8). The signing event takes place on Friday, June 1, between Noon-1 PM. Book Expo America is one of the largest publishing industry events, attracting tens of thousands of attendees.
“The book is a real auto-biography,” said Foster. “It’s about a Model-T Ford, along the same lines as Black Beauty. It tells of the life and times of the card from it’s ‘birth’ – right off Henry Ford’s assembly line in the early 1920s, through the Roaring Twenties, the Depression, World War II, a stint as a demolition derby car in the 1950s – and beyond.
“This is a wonderful book not only for children and their parents, but for grandparents to give – and read – with their grandchildren, since so many of the car’s ‘experiences’ will trigger their own memories,” said Foster. “In my many talks around the state for my other (non-children’s) books, I have talked to dozens of seniors who are looking for a book they can not only give to their grandchildren, but can read along and identify with.”
Delightfully illustrated by Kathe Gogolewski, “T: An Auto-Biography” is Foster’s first children’s book, although she has written more than a dozen children’s musical shows which have been performed numerous times throughout the state. She has also written two historical fiction novels, “LADIES: A Conjecture of Personalities” and “Garfield’s Train”.
