Kittybunkport!
Wednesday, July 2 at 6 p.m.
Join children's book author Scott Rothman for a special Story Time-style reading of his new picture book, "Kittybunkport"!
He'll also talk about his writing process and the differences between writing children's books (such as "Attack of the Underwear Dragon") and writing screenplays (such as 2014's 'Draft Day,' starring Kevin Costner).
Scott Rothman is a writer of picture books, screenplays, theater, and humor pieces. Scott’s debut picture book "Attack of the Underwear Dragon" (Random House) and its sequel "Return of the Underwear Dragon" were both National Indie bestsellers and are being developed into a musical kids TV series by Mercury Filmworks with best-selling illustrator Pete Oswald and Tony-award winning composer Bill Sherman.
His most recent book "Kittybunkport" was featured on the TODAY SHOW and was selected by Jenna Bush Hager for her Summer Reading List. Scott’s book "Warm and Fuzzy" (Tundra, illustrated by Brian Won) received a starred review from Booklist who called it a “fun and helpful read about overcoming anxieties.”
