Meet new author-illustrator Susan Gal!  Susan will read and sign copies of her first book "Night Lights." This reassuring reflection of a child’s world makes a wonderful bedtime story, and would be sure to soothe any lingering fears of the dark. Come see her beautiful illustrations that are sure to please children and grown-ups alike!  After reading, Susan will show us all her amazing artistic talent by doing an "interactive" drawing, based on suggestions - and even additions - from the group! Recommended for grown-ups and kids ages 2+, but all are welcome.   Susan Gal began her illustration career as a poster and calendar artist. She then worked as an "actor with a pencil" for Disney Animation Florida before returning to her native California to create lively and whimsical illustrations. Susan Gal's first picture book was Night Lights, which also featured a great dog character. But the inspiration for this book was Susan's own best friend, the Boston terrier Wanda Woo. Susan lives in Berkeley, California, with her husband, her daughter, and assorted studio pets. You can read more about her work at galgirlstudio.com.
