Village Books is pleased to welcome two Bellingham authors/illustrator to the Virtual Readings Gallery for this family-friendly event!

Whimsy Park: Poems for the Whole Family features 40 poems illustrated in watercolor so that adults and children equally can enjoy their walks through Whimsy Park.

Papa Green Bean is the pen name of John S Green. As an early childhood development and education advocate for first time parents, John believes in respectful and thoughtful parenting foremost, but, also understands the huge benefits of playfulness and humor. He maintains a blog and Facebook page under the name Papa Green Bean. Although a widely published poet, this is John’s first book of children’s poetry.

About the Illustrator: Christen Mattix makes whimsical watercolor illustrations inspired by her adventurous childhood and her deep roots in the Pacific Northwest. Mattix has exhibited her artwork throughout the Pacific Northwest and nationally. Her work has been included in numerous publications including City Art Magazine, Bellingham Herald, and Cascadia Weekly and she is the author of Skein.
