I'm excited about Golden Books Legacy: Original Art from 65 Years of Golden Books. Here's a link to the Irving Arts Center for more info. The show is on tour from Center for Children's Illustrated Literature. (CCIL is based in Abilene, Texas)
This is what IAC says about the exhibit:
Sixty masterpieces of original illustration art are included in the most extensive public showing ever from American publishing’s best loved and most consequential picture-book series, Little Golden Books. Launched in 1942 against the backdrop of WWII, Little Golden Books made high quality illustrated books available at affordable prices for the first time to millions of young children and their parents. Toured by the Center for Children’s Illustrated Literature, Abilene Texas.
I still get a little twang in my chest when I see a gold, shiny spine sticking out of a bookshelf.
