Nathan A. Jacobs, freelance writer and children’s book author, is visiting Swanton, his home town, to promote his debut children’s book, “Leaving the Pouch,” at the Writer’s Block Book Fair.
The event is taking place on Saturday, October 14, from 10am-6pm, with books for people of all ages and genres.
Jacobs is a resident of the Swanton community and is taking his first step in the children book industry with this book. The Writer’s block Book Fair is proud to feature Jacobs as one of the spotlight authors, where fans can get signed book and do interactive activities with him.
“Leaving the Pouch” is a charming storybook, inspired by his youngest child overcoming his first-day-of-school jitters. The story follows a young kangaroo, named Lola, who has to build courage to leave Mother Kangaroo’s pouch and go to school for the first time.
