Rabbit Hill 2008 will be held on October 23, 24 and 25, 2008 with authors/illustrators focused on elementary school students.

The theme for this year will be Bringing Life to Literature,
and feature six creators of ground-breaking picture books for all ages who will discuss how their lives inform their work.

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 and will begin in late August, 2008.  If you would like to be on the mailing list, email your name and mailing address to Joan Hume at jhume@westportlibrary.org

.1CEUs will be given for each event.
