Pearl’s Garden Book Reading & Signing with Author Carolyn Olson
Join us for a free children’s book reading with Duluth-based author and illustrator Carolyn Olson, celebrating her new picture book, Pearl’s Garden. After the book reading we’ll do a small gardening project that young attendees can take home, and one lucky person will win a copy of the book!
Pearl’s Garden tells the story of a young girl who tends an urban garden in the tradition of her mother and grandmother. Through patience, generosity, and care, Pearl inspires her family to work together and share in the harvest—highlighting how gardening builds community across generations.
Carolyn Olson is a narrative artist who lives and works in Duluth, MN. She works in gouache, oil, and pastel to illustrate everyday life and community stories. Olson’s work is familiar around Duluth, with one of her large works on display in the Co’op’s Denfeld classroom.
Copies of Pearl’s Garden will be available for purchase, and the author will be present to sign books. You can also purchase the book here.
Light refreshments will be avialable.
