Happy Birthday, Donald Hall!

New Hampshire resident and former United States Poet Laureate, Donald Hall, was born on this day in 1928.

Hall is the author of many books of poetry and essays, as well as several delightful children's books including Ox-Cart Man [JP HAL], which won the 1980 Caldecott Award for illustrations by Barbara Cooney.



My favorite of Hall's children's books is I Am the Dog, I Am the Cat [JP HAl]. Don't miss it!
