Kristin Tanner: Saturday book signing at The Book House in Maplewood!

Friday, December 4, 2015

Tomorrow, Saturday the 5th, I'll be at The Book House at 7352 Manchester in beautiful Maplewood, MO! Come on by to get your copy of Walkabout Town, get your existing copy signed and support local business. Hope to see you all there!

a wee bit about me

I studied music at the Blair School and education at Peabody College, both divisions at Vanderbilt University. During that time, I earned a B.S. in Elementary Education and a B.A. in English.

I began my teaching career at DeKalb County Public Schools and City of Decatur Schools in Atlanta, Georgia before moving to St. Louis where I now do a myriad of creative things. This exhaustive list includes (but is not limited to):

- Serving as Worship Arts Director at Crossroads Presbyterian Fellowship

- Performing at the Missouri History Museum and Contemporary Art Museum on trumpet, mandolin and guitar

- Singing, photographing people and places, writing songs and writing curriculum.

I'd be tickled to visit your school, assisted living facility, museum, church or any other organization (that's legal) and provide fun music and a bit of knowledge thrown in for good measure. Contact me at kristintanner@sbcglobal.net

Reviews

"This book is such a charming combination of striking images and poetic words, and it’s a great read for a wide age range. Walkabout Town appeals to all the senses in such a magical way – children everywhere can relate to the sights, sounds, smells, and even tastes of a neighborhood. The accompanying song really sets the atmosphere for both lighthearted fun and a sense of pride in community. Walkabout Town will inspire readers to go explore their own neighborhoods and find the everyday beauty around every turn."
