Project Overview

Meet the author and the illustrator of Original Fake Kirstin Cronn-Mills and E. Eero Johnson. Original Fake is a young adult graphic novel written by a local author and illustrated by an artist living in the Twin Cities area. The event will begin with a reading by the author, followed by a presentation by the illustrator, and then an interview with both the author and illustrator focusing on how all the various elements of creating and publishing the book came together. Bringing the event to a conclusion will be an audience question and answer session and a drawing for an autographed copy of the book. Books will also be available to the participating libraries.
