In collaboration with the History Book Festival, join us to talk with Brian Jay Jones, author of Becoming Dr. Seuss: Theodor Geisel and the Making of an American Imagination, one of the books featured at the 2019 History Book Festival.

Kirkus Review writes, "A rich, anecdotal biography of one of the bestselling authors in publishing history. Used to being perceived as a funny guy, Geisel evolved into a serious thinker about how to develop books that would encourage children to read while also enjoying the learning process. Jones is particularly masterful in this vein, showing how Geisel, his wife, publisher Bennett Cerf, and other key collaborators collectively revolutionized reading education, with Dr. Seuss always reserving the final say. Whether readers are familiar with Dr. Seuss books or not, they will find this biography absorbing and fascinating."
