“Sarah’s Circus,” from 1 to 4
p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, at the
Astoria Visual Arts Gallery,

A collaboration with late
Astoria entrepreneur Robert
“Jake” Jacob, the story is
based on an event from Jake’s
own childhood, re-imagined
in the Great Depression.
“Sarah’s Circus” — one of
Jake’s final projects — is a
colorful, thoughtful and lov-
ingly detailed story of a little
girl learning the true value of
a day’s work in the circus.
The book is aimed at read-
ers ages 8 through 12, but is
for anyone who appreciates
elaborate illustration and
historical stories.
Meet Lackaff — the
co-author and illustrator —
and enjoy refreshments and
other AVA art. A portion
of the book sales will be
donated to Jake’s pet project,
the refurbishing of the Tourist
