Local author, Cathy Werling, will be signing and reading from her latest book, “Why Did Sergeant Stubby Go to War?” in the Fort Scott Public Library event room on Monday, May 21, from 4 – 5 p.m.

Her picture book follows the life of heroic dog Stubby, who served alongside his soldier master in World War I. Be inspired by the true re-telling of this canine hero’s story. This is a treat for the whole family! Stop in anytime during this hour-long event.

Cathy is a retired educator, formerly teaching at Eugene Ware Elementary and Winfield Scott Elementary.

She has been an inspiration and leader for our community’s youth for many years and continues to do so today by creating picture books about real-life unsung heroes at the Lowell Milken Center as writing specialist. Find out more at www.lowellmilkencenter.org.
