Astrid Sheckels will be signing and talking about her new children's picture book, The Scallop Christmas, on Sat., Dec. 12 at 2:00 p.m. She has won a number of art awards, including the Archibald McLeish Prize for Art and the Medici Award in the Visual Arts. Astrid has spent much time in her mother's homeland of Denmark - her Scandinavian roots are evident in her illustrations - and she now lives and maintains her studio in the rolling hills of Greenfield, Massachusetts.

About The Scallop Christmas:

Times were tough in the small New England fishing village where Marcie lived. No one had any money, and work was hard to find. So the villagers rejoiced one glorious fall when an unexpected bounty of scallops filled their little bay. For young Marcie, a week of harvesting scallops also brought an unexpected adventure and a lesson about love that she would never forget.
