## Caption

It didn't win in a publisher's contest, but Christopher Paul Curtis' book, The Watsons Go to Birmingham, was published anyway.

🎬 In fact it won many awards and was adapted into a movie! Curtis talks about his humble beginnings as a Flint, MI auto factory worker who passed the time writing. Hear more about his journey in the video below and then register to join the LIVE conversation March 2 at 6pm.
