As part of the Branigan Library’s Summer Reading program - Tails and Tales, the library invites residents to a book reading from Anelise Elmquist at 6 p.m. today, July 7, in the Roadrunner Room at the Branigan Library, 200 E. Picacho Ave.
Elmquist is the author and illustrator of Cooper’s Tale, a book written from her dog’s perspective on the pandemic.
Elmquist is a 13-year-old author and illustrator living in Las Cruces. In her free time, she enjoys reading, writing, coding, playing Minecraft, and creating art for her business, Art for the World. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Elmquist wrote, illustrated, and published Cooper’s Tale. With another book on the way, she has some advice for new authors.
“Your writing is your expression, and nothing else should matter except that you love it and enjoy it!” Elmquist said.
