LBB Virtual Celebrity Storytime: Nick Kennedy & Josh Trujillo - Lost Beast, Found Friend

Left Bank Books is excited to present another Virtual Celebrity Storytime! We welcome illustrator Nick Kennedy and author Josh Trujillo, who will read aloud their new picture book, "Lost Beast, Found Friend," on Facebook Live at 11am CST on July 7. Join us on our Facebook Page and order a copy of "Lost Beast, Found Friend" from Left Bank Books to support authors and independent bookstores!

"Lost Beast, Found Friend" is the moving, uplifting adventure story about an unlikely friendship between a young girl and a magical beast.

Keelee is a brave, young girl who discovers a purple, fuzzy, funny beast! Together the two must make their way across this fantastic land to return Beast to his home. This is a touching tale of friendship and fun that children will want to revisit again and again. The children’s book is the debut of painter Nick Kennedy and comics writer Josh Trujillo (Dodge City). "Lost Beast, Found Friend" transports readers to a lush, tropical world, and Kennedy’s unique style gives Keelee and her new friend a vivid fantasy world to play in. This book will stick with readers of all ages long after story-time is over. "Lost Beast, Found Friend" is a charming and vibrant adventure story for the explorer in all of us!
