Local author Beverly Graves will visit the Pella Public Library to showcase her new book.

She will have a signing on Thursday, August 3 from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. She will read from The Adventures of Sofie Q. Graves says the book is a collection of stories about her great niece.

“It’s all about the first five years of her life — all the firsts you have with a child,” Graves says.

Graves enlisted the help of local artist Scott Van Den Berg to illustrate the cover and pages. Books will be for sale and proceeds will benefit the children’s collection at the library. The program will be held in the Library Meeting Room.
