Author Sarah Mlynowski

The author found that whenever she read her daughter a fairy tale, she felt the need to make changes to the endings. She needed to add girl power to them. The Whatever After series brings an adventurous brother and sister into some of our most beloved fairy tales by adding a twist to the plot, along with humor and a message. It respects the fables, but injects an empowering element for girls by depicting strong female characters making strong decisions and taking charge of their own lives.

A native of Montreal in Quebec, Mlynowski’s mother is Elissa Ambrose, a writer of romance novels. She received her English Literature Degree from McGill University in Toronto and worked in publishing for a while before writing her first book.

Admission is free. Seating is first-come, first-serve, based on room capacity. A question and answer session, along with book signing by the author, will follow the presentation. Books will be available for purchase from Whale of a Tale Children’s Bookshoppe.

The Newport Beach Public Library presents a variety of programs that foster cultural arts enrichment. For more information, contact the Library at 949.717.3800, option 2, or visit the website at www.newportbeachlibrary.org.
