[Publib] Free Connecticut Children's Literature Festival

[Maxine Bleiweis]

Registration is open for The Rabbit Hill Festival of Literature for 2008
to be held on October 23, 24 and 25, 2008. 

 

The theme this year is Bringing Life to Literature, featuring six
creators of ground-breaking picture books for all ages who will discuss
how their lives inform their work.  We are very excited to be hosting
Steve Jenkins, E.B. Lewis, Grace Lin, Barbara McClintock, David Wiesner
and Mo Willems.

 

The Rabbit Hill Festival is named to honor Robert Lawson, the only
author/illustrator to win both the Caldecott and Newbery Medals for
excellence in children's illustration and literature. He created his
work in his Westport home and studio, which was called "Rabbit Hill."
Except for the dinner and lunch, the festival is free and open to the
public. 

 

Registration is required.  If you would like more information, see the
