“Sometimes when you are little you need help getting around. For Lucy Ann that help comes from her little red chair. Follow Lucy Ann and her little red chair through the day to see the world through Lucy Ann’s eyes.”

Carie Fanning’s children’s book “Lucy Ann’s Chair” was released in December and is already already making waves with online sales. This Saturday, Fanning, who served as the executive director of Family Strengths Network for nine years, will be reading from and signing her book at Samizdat Bookstore and Teahouse at 174 Central Park Square in Los Alamos. The book is illustrated by local artist Kari Mason.
