Rabbit Hill Literature Festival Opens at Library

The fifth annual Rabbit Hill Festival of Literature opened tonight at the Westport Public Library. Library Director Maxine Bleiweis welcomed participants at the opening panel discussion. 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 on Weston Road, which was called “Rabbit Hill.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Ron Malone for WestportNow.com
