- **Event Description**: This March, the Thursday Island Reading Series kicks off its spring season with celebrated children’s book creator Chris Van Dusen. The Thursday Island Reading Series–a collaboration between Devaney Doak and Garrett Booksellers, Twice Sold Tales, and The Rustica Journal–invites acclaimed authors to read their work and, in the spirit of classic Maine summer camps, share a skill or craft with the audience. 

On Thursday, March 5 at 6pm at Twice Sold Tales, Chris Van Dusen will read from his latest picture book If I Built a Town and lead us in a rousing head-to-head draw off based on silly prompts from the audience. Beverages, snacks, and copies of his books will be available for purchase. A perfect event for children and the young at heart! 

Chris Van Dusen is the author and illustrator of beloved picture books like The Circus Ship, the popular Mr. Magee series, and the If I Built… books. His book, If I Built a Car won the 2006 E.B. White Read-Aloud Award presented by The Association of Booksellers for Children. He and his family live in Camden, Maine.
