Peterborough - Maxine Kumin is rescheduled to sign her new book for children." What Color Is Caesar"

03/20/2010 11:00 am

The former Poet Laureate of the United States and New Hampshire resident will be in to sign and discuss her new picture book for children.

Caesar is a large white dog with a great many black spots. Or is he a large black dog with even more white spots? That’s the trouble: he doesn’t know which, and though nobody in the family seems to care, he won’t rest until he uncovers the truth. So off he traipses, beseeching one animal after another to find out what color he is, basically. 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.

Maxine Kumin is the author of many books of poetry including a forthcoming collection "Where I Live: New And Selected Poems 1990-2010" due in April.
