12/08/2019  Author Mary Cuffe Perez and Illustrator Sallie Way will be signing Gnarlys of the North Woods. Gnarlys of the North Woods will delight readers young and old as it leads them deep within the Gnarlys world. Their archenemies, the Gnomes, are old and wise, but the Gnarlys have a genius for imitating any song, call or sound in the forest. It’s a talent that leads them into the biggest trouble of all! Mary Cuffe Perez is the author of six books. She is a amateur naturalist and her writing is inspired by the fields and forests around her. She lives in Galway. Sallie Way is a high school art teacher and lives on a small farm in Galway. |
