Henderson author Laura McGrail will be signing copies of her children's book "Blue Dust Days" from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, May 4, at Barnes & Noble in Evansville.

The book is about a pair of Eastern Kentucky siblings who escape their hard scrabble coal mining town by running away to work on a Lexington horse farm during the Great Depression. The siblings help train an emotionally damaged filly to race in the Kentucky Derby.

McGrail will have copies of the book available at the Kentucky Derby-themed signing.

"Blue Dust Days" is also available for sale at hearttoheartpublishing.com and through Amazon at amazon.com/Blue-Dust-Days-Laura-McGrail/dp/1937008487.

Copies of the book may also be purchased locally at Sweet Peas in Henderson, Audubon State Park's gift shop and Studio 105 in Owensboro.

Thursday's book signing also doubles as a fundraiser for South Heights Elementary, where McGrail worked as a school psychologist for five years. Anyone who purchases items at Barnes & Noble on Thursday can present a Bookfair ID of 12145223 at checkout and a portion of the money will got to South Heights.

McGrail said she will be passing out vouchers with the Bookfair ID before the book signing on Thursday.

People who purchase items online via BN.COM/bookfairs from May 4 -10 can enter the Bookfair ID 12145223 at checkout. Portions of the sale will go to support South Heights.
