An evening with Anita Silvey, the author of 100 Best Books for Children and 500 Great Books for Teens. Silvey has devoted 35 years to promoting books that will turn the young -- and families -- into readers. In her latest captivating and inspiring volume Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Children's Book, more than 100 leaders from the arts, sciences, business, and politics recall a children's book that they loved and discuss its impact on their lives. Silvey writes in the Introduction, 'When we give children books, we become part of their future, part of their most cherished memories, and part of their entire life. Children's books change lives.' Free and open to the public. Books for sale and signing courtesy of Wellesley Booksmith.
