Pickle Story Today at Library


A story about pickles and diversity will be told at Fort Frances Public Library Technology Centre today.

Pickle Bumps for Baby Dill is the first picture book for children by author Bob Fulton of St. Cloud Minnesota.

Fulton credits his youngest grandson for the idea.

"He says tell us a story about pickles," says Fulton. "He just loves pickles. I thought, well, how do you tell a story about a pickle. The first thing that came to mind was the saying 'like bump on a pickle.' I thought well maybe we can have a story about a pickle that doesn't have any bumps and where does that go."

Fulton will hold readings at the library this 2 p.m. this afternoon and tomorrow at 11 a.m..

A book signing is planned for Wednesday at Betty's in Fort Frances.
