United States of America (Press Release) November 14, 2007 --
Montville, NJ – The Montville Library will feature a talk and book signing by New Jersey author Feather Schwartz Foster as part of an antique car show event on Sunday, November 18, 2007, between 1-3 PM. “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 reading/signing will take place inside the Library at 2 PM, and is sponsored by the Montville Township Library Endowment Fund. It is free and open to the public. Proceeds from the book signing will go to benefit the Montville Library.
“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.”
She continued, “This is truly an intergenerational book. I certainly hope grandparents will take this opportunity to bring the grands to the book-signing, since they’ll have a wonderful time afterwards telling their grandchildren about their own memories of those years – and even the memories that their OWN parents and grandparents had!”
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”.
