Penn Libraries Explores the World of Children's Books

This fall, the Penn Libraries explores the world of children's books in two related exhibitions and a symposium. 'Children's books are unique teaching tools that ignite the imagination and bring form and meaning to language for younger and older generations alike,' shared Carton Rogers, Vice Provost and Director of the Penn Libraries. 'We are pleased to celebrate this genre of work, while at the same time acknowledging two very significant donations to our collections, by highlighting the lives and careers of William Steig, a children's book author who wrote stories that overturn traditional fairytale assumptions, and Atha Tehon, a master at collaboration who helped to shape the works of many of the world's best children's book authors. We hope that members of the Penn community as well as the greater art and literary communities are as inspired by these exhibits as we are.'
