In addition, to author/illustrator Denise Fleming, Cleveland Public Library revved up a cold day with the hot music of the Revolution Brass Band.

Student art and writing was exhibited.  Featured authors: Jacqueline Woodson, Angela Johnson and Denise Fleming!

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,

And on the strangest sea;

Yet, never, in extremity,

It asked a crumb of me.

Emily Dickinson
