My final day at the Eric Carle Museum was beyond inspiring. The museum welcomed 9 authors/illustrators, talking about what inspired them to become artists. There were two different panel sessions throughout the day, with time for Q&A, along with book signings. I was able to see each artists and talk about my love of their work, along with my librarian request!!!! I feel there is such a lack of beginning picture books in children's literature, and I was sending my plea for their consideration of future work.
These are my rock stars.....my football players....my singers/actors. These people contribute to the education and entertainment of our children that has a profound and lasting effect on their childhood. They make a different in our world. Most of the authors/illustrators asked me many questions about my work at school, children today and my thoughts on children's literature and their work. It was a magical day that I will truly never forget!
