Hey book lovers (big and small) — get ready for a morning full of stories, smiles, and Louisiana magic! We’re so excited to welcome local author Tisha Whittington for a very special book signing and meet & greet.
Tisha isn’t just any children’s author — she’s a lifelong educator, school leader, and proud Southwest Louisiana native who’s spent decades inspiring kids both inside and outside the classroom. Now, she’s sharing her love of learning, friendship, and culture through her adorable and inspiring main character, Nola the Gator.
The Adventures You’ll Discover:
• You Can Sit With Us — The first day at a new school can be scary… but Nola learns that kindness, courage, and a welcoming smile can turn strangers into friends. A beautiful reminder that there’s always room for one more at the table.
• You Can Parade With Us — Laissez les bons temps rouler! Nola and her friends travel through the dazzling parades of New Orleans to the lively Cajun Country celebrations — beads, jazz, costumes, gumbo, and even a Chicken Run — in this joyful Mardi Gras adventure.
What’s Happening at the Event:
✔️ Meet & Greet the Author — Chat with Tisha about her books, her teaching journey, and what inspires her stories.
✔️ Signed & Personalized Books — The perfect keepsake for your little reader or a thoughtful gift for a teacher or classroom.
✔️ Kid-Friendly Fun — Snap photos, explore the store, and maybe even spot a little Mardi Gras magic hiding on our shelves.
✔️ Support Local — Celebrate a homegrown Louisiana author and help foster a love of reading in the next generation.
Whether your kids are just starting school, already bookworms, or simply love a good storytime, this event is a perfect way to spend your Saturday.
Bring the whole family, grab your camera, and join us for a morning that celebrates kindness, friendship, and the joy of Louisiana culture. As Nola would say, “You can sit with us… and you can parade with us too!”
