Copies of the book will be available for sale at a discounted price and for signing by "Beatle Baby" author and journalist Jere Hester,
a lifelong Brooklynite and current Kensington resident. "Raising a
Beatle Baby" tells the story of how Hester, his wife Theresa and their
daughter Ella, a Music Together veteran, made the Fab Four the
soundtrack for a quixotic family life that’s taken them to Hamburg,
London and Liverpool.



With
a little help from her parents, Ella befriended the elderly woman who
lives in Ringo Starr's boyhood home. She got an answer from Yoko Ono on
why the Beatles broke up. And, at age 8, Ella met Paul McCartney –
helping inspire her burgeoning music career and teaching the family the
value of following even the craziest of dreams.
