Children and families are invited as noted children's book author and illustrator Chris Van Allsburg discusses his new book, "The Misadventures of Sweetie Pie." Van Allsburg is a two-time Caldecott Award winner for picture book illustration for "Jumanji" (1981) and "The Polar Express" (1985), both of which he wrote and were adapted into successful motion pictures. Book sales, courtesy of KIDS INK, and autographing will follow the presentation. This program will be held in Central Library's Clowes Auditorium.
