SUMMARY:Author Talk: Rachel Hobbs
DESCRIPTION:Saturday October 07\, 2023 | 11:00AM – 12:00PM\n\nMeet author\, Rachel S. Hobbs\, and celebrate the release of her debut picture book\, Tango Red Riding Hood\, on October 7th at 11:00 AM. \nAbout the Author\nRachel Hobbs was born in the US to a Californian dad and an Argentine mother. She grew up with a love of languages and music and received her BA in Spanish with a minor in music. She also enjoys volunteering and working with children\, in addition to raising her own three kids. She currently resides in Monterey\, CA. \nAbout the Book \nIn this modern interpretation of a classic fairytale\, readers tango along with Moni as she sways to the music that follows her through the woods. In a clearing\, Moni stumbles upon Lobo . . . playing a bandoneón? Moni can’t help from tap-tap-tapping to the tune\, but when the music ends\, Moni’s pace turns from tango to milonga after Lobo says he ate Abuela. Readers are certain to be both surprised and relieved when they learn Abuela is alive and well\, and waiting on another guest – her amigo\, Lobo. \n

In a world of villainous cowboys\, high-speed chases\, and falling pianos\, can our iconic trio find their way back to one another and save the Moon Queen before it’s too late? And who would want to poison her? Is Captain Babybeard\, the adorable baby pirate\, in this one?
