Longtime Greenwich resident Mary Ann Hoberman will be honored Saturday at the Childcare Learning Centers’ annual gala with the organization’s Cultural Award.

In 2008 the Poetry Foundation named her the U.S.’s Children’s Poet Laureate.
Hoberman received a B.A. in history from Smith College and thirty-five years later an M.A. in English Literature from Yale University. She married the late Norman Hoberman, an architect and artist, in 1951 and has lived in Greenwich for almost fifty years in a house that Norman designed.
