A local author is planning a celebration of his new children’s book in Fayetteville this week.
Local resident Bob Fink, who teamed up with New York-based illustrator Jean Metcalf, will host an event to commemorate the release of their new book The Magic Harmonica at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 6 at Millar Lodge on the campus of Mount Sequoyah.
From the description of the book:
The Magic Harmonica” transports readers/listeners/participants on an unforgettable adventure while kindling the nostalgia of yesteryear’s vinyl read-alongs. American-Primitivism-esque illustrations, painted by Jersey City artist Jean Metcalf generate an irresistible visual gravity while a homespun operatic soundscape, composed, performed, and narrated by Bob Fink (of Fayetteville-Hazel Valley, AR) and friends, weaves a soulful and friendly counterpoint, enhancing the daring originality of the story to the edges of imagination
The book launch will include games, food, drink, prizes, a live performance, and more.
It is free to attend, and open to the public.
