Behind every great writer is an inspirational author. In this case, the beloved Dr. Seuss. This vibrant mural covers the walls of the stairwell leading to the upper level. “’The Cat in the Hat’” is particularly poignant to me,” Kate says. “It was the first book I ever read. I viscerally remember sounding out the letters on that first page. It was a light bulb moment for me — the moment I knew I could read.” Painting: by Dave Willits
