Meet the Authors: Beatrice Boggs Allen and Belle Boggs

Best for families with children in grades K+

Maybe every kid can't have an animal pet—but everyone can have a plant pet!

Chatham County authors Beatrice Boggs Allen and Belle Boggs will talk about their new book, Plant Pets, share some tips on growing your own plant pet, and answer questions!

Beatrice Boggs Allen is co-author, with her mom, Belle, of Frog Trouble Times, a Substack where her favorite posts have been about hiking, frogs, books, orchids, and cats. She is the proud caretaker of dozens of plant pets.

Belle Boggs is the author of three books, including The Art of Waiting. She is co-author of Frog Trouble Times, a nature-focused Substack she started with her daughter Beatrice on Earth Day, 2021. Her writing has been featured in national media including the New York Times, The Atlantic, Harper’s, and The New Yorker. She has taught levels from kindergarten through graduate writing workshops and is currently a professor of English and creative writing at North Carolina State University.

Attendees can preorder a copy of Plant Pets from McIntyre's Books. McIntyre's staff will be onsite at the event with additional copies on hand. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Chatham County Public Libraries.

This event will take place in the Holmes Meeting Room and is free and open to the public. Best suited for families with children in grades Kindergarten and up.

Members of the media interested in attending/covering this event must notify Public Information Officer Kara Lusk in advance at 919-542-8258 or kara.lusk@chathamcountync.gov.
