Event Details

In keeping with our months-long visiting art exhibit celebrating the history of African-American illustrators in children's literature, the Youth Services Department is proud to honor one of today's most beloved artists in contemporary children's literature - Christian Robinson. Robinson has illustrated many of today's most well-loved children's picture books, including Gaston, School's First Day of School, Last Stop on Market Street, and, most recently, The Bench, a collaboration with Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.

Children and their grown ups are invited to paint and help illustrate a large mural representing the world of Christian Robinson. When complete, the mural will be displayed in the Youth Services department.
