During his presentation at Lesley, Brown will discuss his creative process, share new work, explain the process of adapting books to television, and give his observations on the state of children’s books.
He will speak at 7 p.m. on Thursday, November 15 in Washburn Auditorium on Lesley’s Brattle Campus, 10 Phillips Place, Cambridge, MA 02138. This event is free and open to the public, but a RSVP is strongly encouraged by clicking HERE.
