Retired educator Gary Ridout, along with his grandchildren, Ava and Jonah Ridout, wrote the book about a rhinoceros beetle who washed up on the beach. The book is illustrated by Gary’s wife, artist Linda Ridout. All four will be present. This is the first in a series of book talks that will include NCWN member Barbara Crowley on Nov. 17 and NCWN member Hope Toler Dougherty at a later date.
