Susan DuVal Graves, advertising manager with the Rappahannock Record, has written her first children’s book, Emma’s Garden.
“For the last 22 years, I’ve had little stories and ideas written down, just waiting for the right time to come to life. Emma’s Garden is especially dear to my heart, and I’m so excited to finally share it with families. It’s a sweet story filled with love, friendship, wonder and the beauty of nature. To extend the experience beyond the story, the back of the book also includes activities for children to enjoy with their parents, grandparents, or teachers,” said Graves.
She urges the community to come celebrate the blooming of Emma’s Garden at the White Stone Street Market from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. September 19. Meet Graves, pick up a signed copy of Emma’s Garden and come get a sneak peek of what’s blooming next in her children’s book collection.
