CMT and MTV host Katie Cook will hold her first-ever book signing at The Beveled Edge in Nashville on Sunday (Dec. 16) from 2-4 p.m. CT. Her debut book, Little Big Benny–a three-part series for children ages 9 to 12–explores the world of colorful characters who exist within the imagination of main character, Benny Armstrong, Jr.
Cook says the series was born during long stretches on the road promoting her band’s album, prior to her television career. In Little Big Benny, she has created a character who explores some of life’s greatest mysteries while maintaining the humor essential to entertaining children’s literature.
The Beveled Edge is located at 73 White Bridge Road, Nashville, TN 37205.
