In May, Words was the winner of a nationwide window display competition held by Penguin Publishers to win a visit by Hosseini. The display, a full store window of mountain themed drawings and a sculptural installation, was designed by Words artist in residence, Meghan Keane.

"We are thrilled that Khaled Hosseini will be appearing in Maplewood, proud of our window designer Meghan Keane for creating such a fabulous display, and grateful to all of our friends in the community who banded together to help us win this contest," said owner Jonah Zimiles in May.
