Meet Authors and Available Pets at Children's Book Signing Benefit
Washington, DC – Children’s book authors and illustrators Peter W. Barnes and Cheryl Shaw Barnes will team up with the Washington Humane Society (WHS) for a book signing party for President Adams’ Alligator. On February 10, 2013, home furnishings store Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams will host the signing, just in time for Presidents Day.
Adopt Force One, the WHS mobile adoption center, will be onsite with adoptable animals ready to find their forever homes. During the event, children and their families can purchase President Adams’ Alligator and have it signed by co-author Cheryl Barnes. She will also do an interactive reading from the book, with props and games for the kids. Guests will also learn about WHS programs and the importance of animal welfare. Light refreshments will be served.
In their book, Peter and Cheryl Barnes teach children presidential history, from George Washington to Barack Obama, through the First Pets. The United States’ 6th President John Quincy Adams had an unusual pet, an alligator, whom he kept in the White House’s East Room. President Adams’ Alligator ties in presidential history and a love for animals of all shapes and sizes.
