Maplewood artist, Bill Perry made an accordion-fold book for his then three-year-old son sixteen years ago. A year ago he ran a Kickstarter campaign to raise more than $17,000 to publish it. Kids test-drove the book on Saturday.
Saturday at The Book House (7352 Manchester Road), Perry hosted a ‘reading’ — really a ‘driving,’ because the book is an approximately 40-foot-long continuous road that starts at his house on the corner of Yale and Bruno avenues in Maplewood and finishes on a beach in Hawaii. It’s called Road Trip.
He brought a collection of toy cars and trucks for kids to drive the pages. See also: Maplewood artist to publish child’s book – ‘Road Trip’
