Authors relate story of ‘Herman’s Journey’

Staff Report

Authors Jamina Carder and Kaaren Engel will share their creative work, “Herman’s Journey,” in a special storytime at 2 p.m. Sunday at Creative Discovery Museum, 321 Chestnut St. The event will include music, singing, dancing and drumming.

“Herman’s Journey” is the true story of a bright green caterpillar who hitched a car ride when friends Carder and Engel traveled from Nashville to Chattanooga. The book is dedicated to anyone who has ever wanted to fly.

” ‘Herman’s Journey’ is a sweet tale and one kids and adults will love to hear, said Liza Blair, the museum’s arts manager. “Guests will be further drawn into the story as the tellers relate familiar places and sights around town.”

Storytime is free with regular admission of $10.95.
