Best-Selling Author Visits OC Library on Thursday

Bring the whole family to hear New York Times best-selling author Sally Cook as she explains the inside language of America’s oldest team sport, baseball.

Sally will conduct a baseball quiz with fun prizes based on her popular new book How to Speak Baseball: An Illustrated Guide to Ballpark Banter. This stylishly designed little book captures the vibrant, frequently fanciful vocabulary that describes the world of baseball. It’s the perfect book for ages 6-96 and makes a great Father's Day gift.

Always wanted to know how a book is made? Sally will then present a short slide show of how the same team that made How to Speak Baseball created their gorgeously illustrated book, Hey Batta Batta Swing! The Wild Old Days of Baseball, a zany history of America’s favorite pastime.

Sally will be available for questions and book signings.
