El Paso car dealer and artist team up to create children’s book

EL PASO, Texas -- At a time when the Borderland has been looking for ways to regain its comfort and hold on to its sense of community that has been so distinctly tested, comes Buenas Noches El Paso.

The story is about a child's magical journey of discovery that truly captures the unique charm of the border region. The vibrant illustrations in this 32-page hardbound book seamlessly depict the experiences of growing up El Pasoan. Brilliant sunsets, the tranquility of the Rio and the strong, steadfast, yet gentle Franklin Mountains are all part of the adventures of this imaginative little boy.

Celebrating the limitless creativity of children, this book will surely leave all who turn its pages more connected to their community and each other before they even opened the cover.

The book is available at Hal Marcus Gallery, 1308 North Oregon, and this Saturday and Sunday, November 23 & 24 at Las Artistas, being held at the Epic Railyard Events Center.
