We’ve got some fun in-store for our young readers…Adam Watkins, author of Raybot and Weebot, will visit the store for a robot party sure to please! Join us on Saturday, August 5th at 10 a.m. in our store for some crafts, activities and snacks. This is a free event and reservations are suggested. Best for ages 3 and up.
When an inquisitive robot named Raybot begins to explore Earth, he knows he is supposed to find the thing that goes "bark." But try as he might, all he can find are things that go "roar" and "oink" and "moo." Still, Raybot keeps searching, and on the way, he discovers that Earth is full of interesting, friendly creatures. Children will relate to Raybot's wonder as he discovers new sounds and animals in the world, and adults will appreciate the detail and beauty in the hand-painted illustrations.
Adam lives in southern Ohio with his wife, Amy and their two kids, Lucy and Fletcher. He graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design in 2004, where he majored in Illustration. He studied under C.F. Payne his junior and senior years. After graduation, he worked for an advertising agency in Cincinnati and is now a full-time freelancer.
