Hill House Community Center and Blackstone's of Beacon Hill will once again co- host famous illustrator and children's book author Will Moses appearing on Saturday, December 3^rd for the signing of his new book – Mary and her Little Lamb (the true story of the famous nursery rhyme).  The book is a richly illustrated, warm and engaging tale of Mary Elizabeth Sawyer, a true to life person from Sterling, MA whose singular devotion to her little lamb inspired the now famous poem and song.
