Program Description

Event Details

Author Chris Fink and Illustrator John Porcellino discuss Forage Like a Bear, their beautiful new book of micro-essays (and illustrations) on nature, family and life, adapted from radio segments heard on Northern Public Radio in DeKalb, Illinois. Fink's writing has been called "luminous" and Porcellino's illustrations full of "inky grace". Hear selections from the book and enjoy its many insights and simple beauty. There will be an opportunity to ask questions as well as to purchase the book. Hope to see you there!
