Payomet Performing Arts Center will host an exciting presentation under the Tent on Saturday, September 18 at 10:30 a.m. when Anne Peretz discusses her new book, Opening Up: The Parenting Journey with Barry Zuckerman, world-renowned pediatrician and founder of the Reach Out and Read literacy program for children.

As Henry Louis Gates states in the foreword, Opening Up "addresses the seemingly intractable knot of poverty, racism, violence, oppressions, stress, and hopelessness that we face in our country and around the world... Now more than ever, Peretz's affirming stories offer much needed hope and inspiration, an invaluable gift in these times."
