We loved being able to support the Queens Museum in organizing this year’s Children’s Book Celebration – a day of live readings and art making presented by local award winning children’s book authors and illustrators as well as a literary obstacle course by The Reading Ninja. They each created their own special stations for young readers to interact directly with them and their work through art making and other activities. This event was an opportunity to break down the wall between young readers and book makers and directly engage children in the wonderful world of their local book community.
And, we were featured on NY1! Check out the video below.
The beautiful poster is by illustrator, Mika Song.
