Book Signing

Author Laurie MacKechnie

Believe it or not, the dealers at Antiques on Main and their families have interests outside of antiques.  In this instance Laurie MacKechnie, wife of dealer Mac, has written a book titled The Child Who Changed the World. She will be at AOM for a book signing on December 14 from 1-3PM. Come in and meet Laurie.

Her book is an engaging story for children four years old and up. The story shows how children can make a difference with a simple act of kindness. A young child offers a friendly, helpful hand, which has a domino effect of goodness on those around him. Anyone, even children, can make the world a better place by “paying it forward.”

This book will delight and captivate children of all ages, helping them to think how they can change the world at daycare, school, home, or in their neighborhood. They’ll also have fun tracking down the sneaky squirrel in each illustration. It was written by Laurie MacKechnie, an elementary school teacher for some years and now a college professor working with teachers, helping them to help children make reading an exciting part of growing up. The illustrator, Jelena Modec, was born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia, and has been an elementary school art teacher for eight years.
