Art Event
Book signing of the children's book S.S. Bathtub by David LaMotte, illustrated by Carrie Patterson. On Sunday my wife Donna and I went to the GoodWater of St. Mary's County for the book signing. David LaMotte played his guitar and sang some songs for the children in the audience. He interacted well with the kids. His singing reminded me of James Taylor, I thought he sounded great. I would like to see him next time he is in the area. Carrie Patterson was also at that event signing the book. Carrie's art work is in a simple style. there is no shading and the pages are very simple. My wife is the Liberian at Piney Point Elementary School and she was able to hobknob with other Teachers and Liberians that she knows. We bought a copy of the book and Donna tried it out on her students at school. She tells me that the Kids at school liked the book a lot. Some of the kids became quite concerned after readind the lines that said that we don't watch television.
