We're excited to welcome author Carrie Finison back to the store, this time to celebrate her new book, Touch a Truck Day, illustrated by Viola Wang. And as a special treat, the Acton Fire Department will have a fire engine parked in our store lot until 12:30PM, so young readers can experience a live version of "touch a truck day"!
This rhyming, tabbed novelty book invites young vehicle fans to explore eight fascinating trucks, with a sweet and special surprise at the end. Climb inside eight different trucks—including a fire engine, garbage truck, ambulance, and more!—and discover what makes each of them unique. Use the tabs to skip straight to your favorite vehicle, then lift the flaps and learn about the important features found inside and out.
About Carrie Finison
Carrie Finison began her literary career at the age of seven with an idea, a box of markers, and her father’s typewriter. She has been writing off and on ever since, though she has (somewhat regretfully) traded in the typewriter for a laptop. Today, she writes children’s books with lots of humor and heart. She lives outside Boston with her husband, son, daughter, and two cats who permit her to write in their cozy attic office. Find her online at carriefinison.com or follow her on social media @CarrieFinison.
