Elk River Books will celebrate the downtown Livingston Holiday Stroll, on Friday, Dec. 5, with book signings by four authors of children’s books and the return of our favorite camelid, Lewis the Yellowstone Llama. The event runs from 4 to 8 pm and features Wayne Edwards, Joann Howeth, Susi Hulsmeyer-Siney and Ree Rozier. Lewis will greet visitors for photos and petting outside, while the authors will be inside to meet booklovers of all ages.
Edwards is the author of Buster the Bridger Mountain Bear, a tale of the animals of Bridger Mountain working together to save Buster; Pacer Coulee Chronicles, a story of small-town football and diverse cultures; and A Stone’s Throw, a young adult novel of a city girl’s new life on a Montana ranch.
Howeth is the author of The Mollys B., an illustrated biography of two real life Mollys, “one a renowned survivor of the Titanic, the other a determined heifer with an indomitable spirit. Living a century apart, they share more than just a name; their deeper bond is a legacy of courage.”
Hulsmeyer-Siney is the rescuer and caretaker of Lewis, and the author of his adventures while lost in Yellowstone National Park, Lewis the Yellowstone Llama. Based on the true story of Lewis’ incredible survival, the book imagines the perils and obstacles the lone llama faced among the wild animals and other hazards of the park.
Rozier is the author of the middle grade novels Missing U, an tale of a young girl struggling with farm life and separation from those she loves, and Like a Brother, a story of finding family and saving a lost sibling.
