traveling exhibitions every picture tells a story: |
 |
Fads and styles change from generation to generation, but the words and images in books that we first encounter as children remain an unspoken and powerful influence throughout our lives. Through the compelling magic of books, children learn many important messages. Sensitive stories and evocative pictures allow adults to begin a dialogue with young people about tolerance, respect, community, diversity, knowledge, acceptance, understanding, and our common humanity.
Original art and entertaining environments impact children of all ages in a remarkable journey that begins with the printed page. Exhibition is in collaboration with The Every Picture Gallery in Los Angeles.
