Chris Monroe: Book Launch and Story Time
Event Navigation
Duluth children’s author Chris Monroe returns to Zenith Bookstore for the launch of her new children’s book “Sasquatch and Squirrel” on Saturday morning, May 6.
Strawberry the Sasquatch lives alone deep in the forest. Most animals are afraid of her, but she doesn’t mind. She’s happy doing all the alone things a sasquatch does—things like hiking and foraging as well as dance moves and logger pranks. Then one day, an extremely friendly squirrel named Nutty shows up. After a series of hilarious mishaps, Strawberry isn’t sure she and Nutty can get along. But thanks to some cloud watching, seed portraits and stale marshmallows, the two find a way to be friends.
Chris Monroe is an award-winning author, illustrator and cartoonist. Her picture books include Sneaky Sheep, Bug On a Bike and the Monkey With a Tool Belt series, which inspired the Netflix show Chico Bon Bon: Monkey with a Tool Belt. Chris was also the author and illustrator of the comic strip Violet Days, which appeared in the Minneapolis Star Tribune and Duluth News Tribune for 22 years.
