Sunday - Double Book Launch

This Sunday is a big one at Family with the launch of two bodacious new books.

Come at 7, where Cheryl Dunn will be signing copies of her photo book 'Some Kinda Vacation' (Picturebox). Stay on till 8:30 for the latest offering by Trinie Dalton - 'A Unicorn is Born' (Abrams) illustrated by Kathy Ayers. Trinie will do a short reading, and Becky Stark (of Lavender Diamond) and Clare Crespo (of Yummyfun) will perform a unicorn cupcake demonstration, with free cupcakes for all!

Here's some info on the books:



Cheryl Dunn's first retrospective book delves into the worlds of street art, graffiti and life on the margins of America. In artists like Barry McGee, Margaret Killgallen, and Chris Johanson, Dunn found a shared sensibility: they were all documenting urban life and its discontents in their own unique ways. And so she documented the artists as much as their shared subjects, along the way compiling an impressive body of portrait and documentary photography of the street art scene as well as a moving group of images of urban America.



Ursula, a pregnant white unicorn, prepares to grace the forest with the birth of another member of her rare, wondrous species. As nature’s caretaker, Ursula is already an expert herbalist, magician, alchemist, astrologer, and psychic. Now, awaiting her first colt, she has an opportunity to embrace both the practical and mystical aspects of motherhood. Ursula’s regal intelligence balanced by earthy warmth reveals her to be the quintessential mother and a generous teacher, as she divulges secrets not only about the universality of motherhood but also of confidential, ancient unicorn lore. Ursula’s belly grows, and she delivers a brown, long-haired baby. As this visually stunning pair get acquainted, grazing meadows for snacks, practicing spells, or, later, diving off their favorite rock in a nearby stream, Ursula realizes the true infinity of nature’s power and revels in her happiness at having experienced animal magic in a completely new way.
