Meet the author at the Fallbrook Library

FALLBROOK –Natalie Tinti, a 12-year-old author and illustrator will be signing books and answering questions on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 3 p.m. at the Fallbrook Library. Natalie is from Temecula, and is currently in the sixth grade. Her amazing innate writing talent showed through in her first grade essays and continues to be her unique way to express herself.

Natalie also demonstrated her remarkable artistic ability at a very young age and won first place in a local drawing contest when she was just five years old. Natalie decided to write the popular kids’ book, “Sewing a Friendship,” because she noticed several children at her school who appeared to have trouble making friends.

Inspired by her school’s “Kindness is Cool” program that teaches kids to be nice to one another, Natalie conceived the idea of a group of girlfriends befriending an antagonistic loner. Once the loner feels liked by the other girls, she becomes a good friend.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call the library at (760) 731-4653 or see Natalie’s website at
