Adventures of an Island Cat Named BRUPP
Book by Deirdre Kessler
Island author Deirdre Kessler will launch Adventures of an Island Cat Named BRUPP, a one-volume edition that includes all of the previously published Brupp-the-cat novels as well as a new, never-before-published story, “Brupp and the Milk River Orphans.” The cover art and illustrations are by Cecily Donnelly.
Deirdre will read from the new BRUPP book and there will be a sing-a-long of Brupp songs—Brupp fans know that the Island’s most famous cat not only keeps an imaginary diary, but also he makes up songs. Deirdre will bring her trusty guitar and songsheets for all. As well, participants will make up a group poem about cats and do quick sketches of a favourite cat (real or fictional) to be hung on a clothesline at the Carriage House. There will be cat-shaped cookies and a display of artwork of the original BRUPP books.
Bookmark will host the launch of Adventures of an Island Cat Named BRUPP at 2 pm on May 21 at Beaconsfield’s Carriage House.
