📣 Join us at COAS Books for a reading and book signing with local author Meagan O’Toole Pitts, featuring her children’s book "Carmelita."

Carmelita tells the true story of Carmelita Torres and the 1917 Bath Riots through the eyes of a young girl, who learns of the history from her mother and bisabuela while they cross the Santa Fe Street bridge into Juárez. It is a story of courage, heritage, activism, and the voices of women and children who refused to be silenced.

What to expect:
✅ A reading from "Carmelita"
✅ The chance to meet the author
✅ Book signing and conversation
✅ A family-friendly event open to all

This event is free and open to the public. Perfect for families, educators, librarians, and anyone who loves history and storytelling. ✨📚
