05.10: Heather Ross
2014-04-16 00:34:59| Powells Books Events Calendar
Much of Heather Ross's creative work has been inspired by her being born into an eccentric family of artists and idealists in a rural corner of Vermont during the 1970s. When, as a 20-something, Ross complained to her mother about a long list of things she had missed out on and that had compromised her chance of ever leading a "normal" life, her mother waved a hand and replied, "Well, you should thank me, because you have a lot of good stories instead." How to Catch a Frog (Stewart, Tabori, & Chang) is a collection of those stories, showing Ross's eventual route to success as an artist, entrepreneur, and mother, all animated by Ross's delightful illustrations and how-to instructions. Monday the 12th, 7:30pm / Powell's City of Books
