Authors Carmella Van Vleet and Chiquita Mullins Lee and illustrator Jennifer Mack-Watkins will talk about their book, You Gotta Meet Mr. Pierce! Presented in partnership with Cover to Cover Books.

Join us for a visit with children's authors Carmella Van Vleet and Chiquita Mullins Lee and illustrator Jennifer Mack-Watkins (joining virtually) as they share their newest book, You Gotta Meet Mr. Pierce!: The Storied Life of Folk Artist Elijah Pierce, a picture book biography about the barber shop of woodcarver Elijah Pierce, recipient of the highest folk art honor in the United States.

Carmella Van Vleet is a former kindergarten teacher who now writes full-time. She’s the author of over a dozen books including the award-winning middle-grade novel Eliza Bing Is (Not) A Big, Fat Quitter and the picture book To the Stars! The First American Woman to Walk in Space (co-authored with astronaut Kathy Sullivan). Carmella lives in Columbus, Ohio.

Chiquita Mullins Lee is an Arts Learning coordinator at the Ohio Arts Council (OAC) where she manages Ohio’s Poetry Out Loud and Arts Partnership programs. She is a former teaching artist in creative writing on the OAC teaching artist roster, hosted the Emmy-award winning program Traditions: Ohio Heritage Fellows, and has served on the Arts Education review panel for the National Endowment for the Arts.

Jennifer Mack-Watkins is a printmaker whose work investigates power through the complexities of themes like womanhood, beauty, body image, and gender roles. Her solo exhibition "Children of the Sun" at Brattleboro Museum has been featured in the New York Times, Vogue, and Essence Magazine. Read more about her work at mackjennifer.com.
