Maxine Kumin, former U.S. Poet Laureate, to read from her new children's picture book What Color Is Caesar?

Feb 20 2010 2:00 pm
Feb 20 2010 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!

Why Shop Indie?

For every $100 you spend at a local indie business, $68 will stay in the community. When you spend that same $100 at a national chain, only $43 stays in your community.

Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because they buy for their own market: the people in their community. They know you and know what you like and want.

You wouldn’t want your house to look like everyone else’s in the U.S. Why would you want your community to look that way? More diversity in your community enhances its appeal.

Even more reasons to shop indie...
