Join MATS and Peterborough Town Library for an inspiring evening with author and illustrator Lita Judge as she discusses her newest book, "Old Blue Is My Home."

Lita Judge is an author-illustrator of 30 nonfiction and fiction books. Her most recent picture book, Old Blue is My Home, follows a family and the van that provides them with safety, warmth, and togetherness amidst economic and housing insecurity. Drawing from her own childhood experiences with house and economic insecurity, Lita’s story is both moving and uplifting — reminding us that a home is where love resides. 

This program is free and open to all, presented in partnership with MATS.
