Naperville native and award-winning actor and comedian Bob Odenkirk has teamed up with his talented daughter and son, illustrator Erin Odenkirk and writer Nate Odenkirk, as they share original poems Bob wrote with his children when they were young, as well as dozens of new ones–beautifully brought to life by Erin’s whimsical drawings. Join Chicago Humanities for a hilarious and heartwarming night of laughter and nostalgia as the Odenkirk family sits down with the host of Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me! Peter Sagal to take us on a journey through the imaginative and playful pages of Zilot and other Important Rhymes.
