Author J.L. Alkire Book Signing Event

Alkire, a resident of Romeoville, IL, will be available to sign copies of her Children's book, The Roar of the Grumkies.

Have you ever seen a Grumkie? Have you ever heard the Grumkies roar? Grumkies are shy and curious creatures that have a special bond with the sea. Led by the old Grumkie Queen and her sevenfrog monkeys, young and old and some in-between make an exciting annual trek to the seashore. There something wondrous takes place: they break their silence with an incredible roar. Journey with them and discover the magic of the Grumkies' roar. Charming in its rhyme and imaginative in its storytelling, children of all ages and the young at heart will enjoy The Roar of the Grumkies.
