Children’s author at Chapters
Children’s author Diane Welch is returning to Langley Chapters on Saturday, March 1, to read from and sign copies of her book Introducing Mr. Nobody.
The signing will take place from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
In a little yellow house on Maple Street live seven people: Mommy, Daddy, Katie, Hope, Page, Austin and Mr. Nobody.
Told from Austin’s perspective the book follows all the fun, exciting and mischievous adventures of Mr. Nobody.
From its pages, children learn about love, family, forgiveness and responsibility through the eyes of a six-year-old and, of course, Mr. Nobody.
Welch is a busy mom to four energetic children. She is committed to raising her vibrant children with grace and a sense of humour, while trying to keep up with Mr. Nobody’s shenanigans. Welch’s husband Dave is an award-winning glass artist and the creative illustrator for the colourful book.
