Chester Public Library Presents: Punk Taco Adventures!

📅 Saturday, July 11
🕐 1pm
📍 Chester Meeting House, 4 Liberty Street

Are you interested in the process of writing and illustrating stories?

Join author/illustrator Adam Wallenta at the Chester Meeting House as he teaches us how books go from an idea to a physical product that you can hold and read.

When Adam’s son, Makana, was in Kindergarten, they worked together to create Punk Taco, publishing the first volume when Makana was in 1st grade!

Adam’s goal is to encourage kids to be creative, express themselves, pursue their dreams and believe in themselves.

Following the presentation, participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and work on their own drawings.

Registration requested to ensure enough seating and materials for everyone. Please call 860-526-0018, email [email protected], or follow the QR code (https://forms.gle/fRmtbR1ZpYCj6K1Q8) to register!
