CINDY POST SENNING
MONDAY, 6-7 PM @ The Greene
CINDY POST SENNING, the great-granddaughter of etiquette expert Emily Post, will discuss her book, Emily’s Christmas Gifts. Among the hustle and bustle of a busy holiday season, Emily brings comfort and joy to her family and friends—and Santa, too—with her thoughtful gifts of kindness and consideration. Kids will love finding the tiny Christmas elf hidden in Steve Bjorkman’s jolly illustrations and discovering that the best Christmas presents aren’t necessarily the ones wrapped under the tree. The event will include a mini etiquette workshop for young children. What fun! HARPER COLLINS

ANDREW O'TOOLE
TUESDAY, 7 PM @ T&C
ANDREW O’TOOLE will discuss his book, Paul Brown: The Rise and Fall and Rise Again of Football’s Most Innovative Coach. In Columbus, Brown is revered for bringing OSU their first-ever national championship. In Cleveland, the team is named after him. And in Cincinnati, Brown is remembered as the man who brought pro football to the Queen City. He was the first coach to introduce teaching players in a classroom setting—this was as important as the practice field to him. He also installed face masks that attached to players’ helmets and was the first to send plays in from the sidelines using players as messengers. Come hear more about this fascinating football legend. CLERISY

NANCY TILLMAN
TUESDAY, 10:30 AM @ The Greene
NANCY TILLMAN, author and illustrator of On the Night You Were Born, will introduce the newest picture book she has illustrated, It’s Time to Sleep, My Love. Both of her books celebrate the love that adults feel for the children in their lives. Readers will be charmed by the animals who live in the jungle, the forest, and the sea as they whisper to their babies a soft refrain: “It’s time to sleep, my love.” If you’re looking for a book that is as comforting as a soft blanket and warm as a good night hug, you’ll love reading this tender book to your child as he or she is settling down for the night.
