The Glinodo Goat Fest Storybook Trail has a special twist this year—the featured book, Platty’s Perfect Day, is by local Erie children’s book author and illustrator Heather Cash. Heather left a job in tech and returned to Erie about thirteen years ago to dedicate herself to her artwork. “I’m basically a kid,” she said on a recent visit to the monastery. “I like writing books that teach about things I wished I’d known as a kid. I’m writing for 12-year-old Heather.” Platty’s Perfect Day, which Heather is holding in the picture, is one of several books she has written for children. With Heather is Michelle Scully, Program and Events coordinator at the monastery.
Goat Fest is Saturday, August 23, 1:00-4:00 p.m. at Glinodo Center. Meet Heather at Goat Fest where you will be able to purchase her books and have them signed. Read more here, and consider joining UPMC Health Plan, the Regional Science Consortium, and others as Goat Fest sponsors.
