(Feb. 18-19, 2011) Mississippi Welcomes Author M. Beatryce Shaw

(Feb. 18-19, 2011) Mississippi welcomes children's book author M. Beatryce Shaw. Her visit is being hosted by media personality Cyrus Webb of Conversations Book Club and will include something for people of all ages.

Shaw has written two books, Mr. Browne's Roses and Mr. Browne and the Rose Show (published by Tate Publishing), both of which address the issues of overcoming prejudice, embracing individuality and the importance of getting to know someone before you make a judgement about them.

 

Since Conversations Book Club began in Nov. 2006, the multicultural co-ed reading group has hosted events not just in Mississippi but with its chapters in Louisiana, Tennessee and Alabama as well. Shaw makes the 94th author the group has hosted since it began.

 

Webb believes that the books Shaw has written are great for children who are often the target of taunts and bullying but also for adults who might be looking for a way to discuss such sensitive topics with their child.

Below is Shaw's public schedule for her first literary visit to the Magnolia State:
