Local author, Linda Jeanne Germai n, will read her children’s book entitled “Kirby’s Krazy Karrot Kaper (For the Love of Maggie).” Copies of the book will be available for signing and purchase.
Germain’s first children’s book bridges the gap between her love of reading, writing, art, Oswego, an d her four adorable guinea pigs. Her passion for all these things has helpe d her weave an exciting tale about her fluffy, funny guinea pig named Kirby . Kirby has several exciting adventures around the City of Oswego while loo king for his sister, Maggie, who is lost while searching for carrots. Kirby travels by way of a superfast, carrot skateboard and visits some of Oswego ’s most famous landmarks, including, Fort Ontario, Charles E. Gallagher Poo l, Oswego Public Library, Oswego Speedway, Rudy’s Lakeside Drive-in, SUNY O swego, and Breitbeck Park of Harborfest fame. A handful of Oswego High Scho ol Marching Buccaneers make an appearance, also.
“The writing and illustrating of this book was a lot of fun,” stated Germain. “I have always wanted to write and illustrate a children’s book. The question always was what would it be about. When I got my guinea pigs over a year ago, the answer became very clear because they are so funn y and full of personality. A little adventure around their hometown of Oswe go seemed in order. Even though Kirby is the main character, Maggie, Toby, and Mollie are very important to the story, as well. They bring home the id ea of family and simple pleasures that I think Oswego is famous for.”
Germain added, “Oswego is a great place t o have grown-up and to live as an adult. I think the ultimate message of th e book will resonate with both children and adults who love Oswego.
Germain is also the author of another popul ar book about Oswego called “A Common View – With Affection, Hope, and Humo r – Reflections on the Port City of Central New York.” She has been a freel ance writer for the past 10 years and her writing has appeared in The Post- Standard, Oswego County Business Magazine, The Palladium-Times, and The Cat holic Sun.
