Historic LoDo: Rafe Esquith, one of America’s most celebrated educators, will discuss and sign his new book Lighting Their Fires: Raising Extraordinary Children in a Mixed-up, Muddled-up, Shook-up World ($24.95 Viking).

Using his amazing and inspiring classroom techniques, Esquith has helped thousands of children learn to maximize their potential.

Start: 7:30 pm
Colfax Avenue: Acclaimed author and military historian Flint Whitlock will read from and sign his debut novel Internal Conflicts: The Epic Novel of the Turbulent Sixties ($14.95 Cable Publishing). Thrusting us back to the 1960s, Whitlock’s book captures the tenor of the times in one of the most powerful and emotionally compelling stories to ever chronicle the Vietnam Era. Moving deftly from the epic to the personal and the hilarious to the heartbreaking, Internal Conflicts follows Peter Luton, a young, sensitive, idealistic army officer as he searches for sex, love, identity, and meaning in a world turned upside down.
