BRATS on Mainstreet

Every year, BRATS (members of the Bisbee Rollin’ Arts Transport Society) take over the streets in downtown Bisbee, Ariz. with their unique art coasters. This children’s photo book, for readers 9 and up, captures the BRATS first run in July 2009. Among the 13 coasters, there’s a turtle, a cottage on wheels, a locomotive, an upside down bathtub and Grannie Annie in her camera coaster. Dreamed up by local artists, Poe Dismuke and Andrew Weber, BRATS parade their creations on holidays with a whole new slew of art coasters each year. This is Ann Widmann’s first children’s book, but readers can expect to hear more about Grannie Annie’s adventures in the Southwest.
