Atlanta elementary teacher and children's author Juli-ette Robin Goldston will be signing copies of her first picture book, Bowtie Brownlee Goes to School, at Avid Bookshop on Saturday, August 4, 2012, from 1pm -2pm.
Robert Brownlee is beginning kindergarten this year, and today is his first day of school. Robert is known for his signature bow ties and is affectionately known as Bowtie Brownlee. He encounters a little problem when arriving at school, though, when he finds out that not many other boys his age are wearing bow ties.
Bowtie has an eventful day meeting his new teacher and making a new friend while modeling how to handle adversity and feel good about being unique. This is the first book of Bowtie's journeys and adventures.
