Maxine Kumin, former U.S. Poet Laureate, to read from her new children's picture book What Color Is Caesar?
Start: 2:00 pm
End: 3:00 pm

What Color is Caesar, one dog's quest for self-definition, is anything but black and white in this delightfully droll, enlightening tale by an acclaimed former poet laureate. Caesar is a large white dog with a great many black spots. Or is he a large black dog with even more white spots?  From celebrated poet Maxine Kumin comes a doggedly quizzical hero, brought comically to life by Alison Friend's expressive watercolors -- a lovable picture-book character who ultimately learns that it's not what's on the outside that counts.

Kumin was U.S. Poet Laureate from 1981-1982 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1973 for Up Country. She will be reading her new picture book and signing.

Kumin is truly a national treasure; don't miss this special event!
