SUMMARY:An Afternoon with Authors Raj Tawney and Vanessa Garcia
DESCRIPTION:Books & Books is proud to present an afternoon with Raj Tawney discussing All Mixed Up (Paw Prints Publishing\, $17.99). He will be in conversation with Vanessa Garcia. \n***Please note: This event will take place at the Books & Books in Coral Gables at 265 Aragon Ave. Tickets are FREE and books will be available for purchase at the event. Want your copy early or can’t make it in-person? Order your copy online here. \nAbout the Book:\nNew York Times essayist\, Raj Tawney\, delivers a gripping story of a multi-ethnic American boy who forges a complex friendship with a Pakistani immigrant in the wake of 9/11. It’s 2002–less than one year after the September 11th attacks– and sixth-grader Kamal Rao is tackling a brave new world of challenges\, including figuring out who he really is and how he fits in. Even with New York City in its backyard\, the suburban town where he lives is anything but open-minded. That means Kamal – frequently picked on and feeling ostracized — usually spends his time alone\, making mud pies in the backyard or cooking recipes with his mom and grandma from his family’s three cultures. \nThen\, one day\, a Pakistani immigrant named Jaz arrives at school\, entering Kamal’s life and challenging his sluggish movement through the world. As the two boys forge a friendship over their love of exploring the outdoors and eating good food\, the newcomer begins to show Kamal how being “different” isn’t a bad thing at all. For the first time\, a fire is lit within Kamal – but what will happen when questions of Jaz’s origins and his intentions begin to come into question at school and in their town? Will Kamal– now on the cusp of discovering who he really is and who he wants to be — risk his own safety and his family’s trust help his new friend\, someone he barely knows at all? Based on the author’s personal life experiences\, an insightful middle-grade novel from a fresh voice in children’s fiction that will be felt long after the last page.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Jesse Blanco
DESCRIPTION:Popular author and food writer Jesse Blanco\, the founder of Eat It and Like It and Eat It Florida\, will speak at the Books & Books flagship location in Coral Gables\, Fla.\, on Monday\, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. as part of “An Evening With Jesse Blanco.” This event is free and open to the public. RSVPs are recommended and are available by visiting booksandbooks.com. \nA full-time food writer with an insatiable desire to travel\, eat and explore\, Blanco is the acclaimed author of Savannah Food Crawls and Charleston Food Crawls. His 24-year career in TV news – coupled with his large Cuban family’s influence in Miami – has given him the ability to connect with viewers and readers through food. \nBlanco grew up in Coconut Grove\, graduated from Christopher Columbus High School in 1987 and earned a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Central Florida in 1994 before launching a successful 24-year career as a television news anchor\, reporter and sportscaster. Over the years\, he has covered a wide range of news stories in Nashville\, Tenn.; El Paso\, Tex.; and Savannah\, Ga.\, where he currently resides with his wife\, Sheila. \nIn 2010\, Blanco launched a popular blog – and later an award-winning television show – called Eat It and Like It\, which was originally dedicated to exploring the underappreciated side of Savannah’s food scene. He has since expanded Eat and It and Like It to include cities and towns across the Southeast and is currently launching Eat It Florida\, which is focused on celebrating exceptional food and drink across the Sunshine State. \nBlanco published Savannah Food Crawls: Touring the Neighborhoods One Bite and Libation at a Time in 2023 and Charleston Food Crawls: Touring the Neighborhoods One Bite and Libation at a Time in 2024. Both books offer exciting culinary tours of the South’s most acclaimed cities\, each of which has a vibrant\, buzzworthy food scene. In each book\, this larger-than-life food writer eagerly invites readers to dig into Savannah and Charleston\, one dish at a time.
