AUTHOR TALK: JOHN HARE MON | May 20 | 6:30-8 PM Auditorium Artist John Hare will talk about his new picture book Field Trip to the Moon. Climb aboard the spaceship bus for a fantastic field trip adventure to the moon. Once they land, students debark and set out with their teacher to explore. One student takes a break to draw some pictures, falls asleep, and wakes up to discover that the rest of the class and the spaceship are gone. How the student passes the time waiting to be rescued makes for a funny and unexpected adventure that will enchant children all over the galaxy. With rich atmospheric art, John Hare's wordless picture book invites children to imagine themselves in the story--a story full of surprises including some friendly space creatures. Published in time for the fiftieth anniversary of the first moon walk, it is a perfect complement to discussions and lessons on the moon landing. The Raven Book Store will sell copies of Hare's book and a signing will follow the talk.
AUTHOR TALK: TONY HORWITZ THU | May 23 | 7-8:30 PM Liberty Hall 644 Massachusetts Lawrence, KS Doors at 6 PM The best-selling author of Confederates in the Attic returns to the Civil War era for an epic adventure on the trail of America's greatest landscape architect. In the 1850s, the young Frederick Law Olmsted was adrift in search of a mission. He found it as an undercover correspondent in the South for the up-and-coming New York Times. For the Connecticut Yankee, pen name "Yeoman," the South was alien, often hostile territory. Yet Olmsted traveled for 14 months, seeking dialogue and common ground. Yeoman's remarkable trek also reshaped the American landscape, as Olmsted sought to reform his own society by creating democratic spaces for the uplift of all. The Raven Book Store will sell copies of Horwitz's book and a signing will follow his talk. In partnership with the Raven Book Store, Freedom's Frontier, and the Watkins Museum of History.
