On Friday, September 6th at 11:00am enjoy readings of “All the Mamas: A True Love Story for Mothers and Daughters of All Ages” and “All the Papas: A True Love Story for Fathers and Their Children” by visiting author Carol Gandee Shough. Both of these books focus on the family stories and history we all have and share, and they are a perfect way to pay tribute to Grandparents Day, which is this Sunday. Author Carol Gandee Shough will be reading excerpts from her books on stage; and that will be immediately followed by a meet-and-greet, where she will be selling and signing books until 12:15pm. Included in the price of admission, which is $9 for adults and children 1 year and older. bit.ly/TWCMtickets #BookReading #StoryTime #ChildrensBook #Educate #Empower #Excite

Ms. Shough has tracked down clues to her family’s history for many years. Her personal interest in genealogy and her professional art background melded together beautifully when she was inspired to write and illustrate All the Mamas and All the Papas. Ms. Shough grew up in Ohio, graduating from Ohio State University. She received her MA from The University of Texas at Austin. There she worked at The Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery in art education. She later worked for the Texas House of Representatives and taught history, art, and photography with the Department of Defense in Catania, Sicily. After moving to The Woodlands, she taught at Lone Star College as adjunct professor of Art History and Art Appreciation. Now retired, she loves being with friends and family, especially her five grandchildren. Part of the year is spent on Maui. There is still more traveling to do and, of course, enjoying life in The Woodlands!
