On the morning of Saturday, October 12, Flagship will host a book release and reading for the debut children’s books by two local authors.
Boyd Bauman will read his book, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 - a poem written by Boyd and illustrated by Onalee Nicklin - about the lengths a father will go to for his daughter. When a little girl “longed for a bunk bed tall enough she could nest in that tree,” her father’s love compels him to comply, and soon the girl is sleeping among the clouds and stars.

Kristy Nerstheimer will share her book about the legendary baseball player Buck O’Neil. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 follows Buck on his baseball journey: from his childhood dreams, to playing baseball with the Kansas City Monarchs, to becoming the first Black coach in the major leagues.
Both authors will have copies of their books available for purchase.
