Joe Carter, CEO of Marshalltown Company, has penned his 4th children’s book. Carter, who has 3 children of his own, enjoys reading to his kids with his wife at night and wanted to connect his kids to his trade. A connection to trades, positive life lessons, and stories families can enjoy together has inspired his creation of 4 books. His newest book, “Tile, Vinyl, and Carpet – You are Beautiful the Way You Are”, is set in Marshalltown just after the EF-3 tornado that went right down main street. In the book, the family of tools works together to replace the flooring at Thompson’s True Value. A launch event for the newest book will take place at Thompson’s True Value on Monday April 3rd from 5 to 6:30pm. Carter will be there to sign books and visit with children and their parents.
