Join Barnes & Noble Pensacola for a special book reading event on March 29th with local author Christine Kapanga, author of the children’s book, Conner’s Adventure: Finding Friends at the Zoo.
Christine will host a book reading and signing, along with raffles, prizes, and book giveaways! Christine’s sons, co-authors of the book, will join her.
This event is free to attend.
“A huge thank you to Barnes & Noble for their consistent efforts to highlight the work of local authors,” said Christine Kapanga, author. “We’re so grateful for making our upcoming book event possible!”
Conner’s Adventure: Finding Friends at the Zoo follows a boy named Conner on his zoo adventure as he embarks on a quest to feed his animal friends! Along the way, he encounters unexpected obstacles that prevent him from feeding some of the animals. Through these challenges, Conner learns valuable lessons about resilience and patience. The book comes to life with beautiful illustrations and an interactive element: readers can play a guessing game to match animals with the food they love to eat!
Christine Kapanga was inspired to write by her two adventurous 3- and 4-year-old boys, co-authors Callan and Alistair Kapanga. The inspiration for the story stemmed from their many visits to Gulf Breeze Zoo. The #1 highlight for Callan and Alistair’s trips to the zoo is interacting with the animals and feeding them.
Christine believes in the importance of teaching children early on that their imaginative creations can be brought to life on paper. This allows others to share in the joy of their creations.
