What do children's illustrators have to do with art?
10.13.2015
Often when we think of the word "artist" we think Monet, Picasso, Rembrandt, but what about illustrators? Illustrators are, in their own right, professional artists and can inspire us just like many of the masters. For our children they play a part in their imaginative world, helping bring to life characters and experiences, much like looking at art in a museum can do for adult. The difference between an "artists" and an "illustrator" is you typically wouldn't find a children's book illustrator in a museum, until now.
And speaking of illustrators in museum -there are two exhibits going on right now that I want to share with you....

We hit the fabric store yesterday so get material for building an indoor reading tent. While we were there we saw this! I think I was more excited than Max was. Isn't it cute? Plus I love that it has the pattern for making a pigeon and bus driver pillow right on the material!

Mo Willems is one of our favorite authors and his book Knuffle Bunny is now a musical! How cool is that?! Right now you can catch it in Berkeley,CA at the Bay Area Children's Theatre and in Columbia, SC at the Columbia Children's Theatre. (If you live elsewhere check Mo's blog for upcoming shows.)
PS
Mo Willems is on the road right now and you can go see him! Check it out here!
