Author Reading: Jason Hendrickson

Join Jason Hendrickson on June 30th at Indy Reads from 11:30-12:30 pm a reading and signing of his children's picture book, BOOK!

There will be a reading, signing, and a craft to follow.

This event is recommended for all ages!

All proceeds from book sales at Indy Reads support our English literacy programming.

BOOK!

BOOK! is an interactive, 4-th-wall-breaking, picture book where young readers take part in a humorous journey of twists and turns to the end of the book with Willard the octopus, his friend Mallard ...and a swarm of B's? The Narrator asks the Reader to flip, shake, and talk to BOOK! all while our interjecting animal friends keep the Reader company all the way to... wait will the reader get there?

Willard, a friendly octopus, invites you along on his path to the end of BOOK! Well, you are actually part of the journey…

You become the creator of topsy-turvy, buzzy, jumbly route that Willard must take to get to the end. You (and Willard) are joined by Mallard, a quirky & quacky sidekick, to become a comedy trio trying to see what The End will bring.

To turn the page is a group endeavor with this humorous pair ready to help You make decisions along the way. Good luck and safe travels on your trip to the final page of BOOK!

Meet the Author: Jason Hendrickson

Jason Hendrickson is an author and illustrator, currently living and working in Indianapolis, Indiana with Ziva the wonder dog, an elderly border collie who thinks she rules the house.

Jason has been drawing for as long as he could hold a crayon, much to the chagrin of his mother and the walls of her house. While being an illustrator on a variety of other picture books through the years, this is his first foray into authorship, and, frankly, he’s as surprised as you are.
