Press Release Fun: June Children’s Literary Cafe
The Children’s Center at 42nd Street is pleased to announce our Children’s Literary Cafe for Saturday, June 5th at 2:00 p.m.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Goodnight Moon author Margaret Wise Brown (1910-1952), biographer Leonard Marcus offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of America’s poet laureate of the nursery. Find out how Brown re-imagined the picture book in the spirit of modern progressive education and modern art and, in league with her great editor Ursula Nordstrom, created "good books for bad children" that have lasted for generations.
The Children’s Literary Café is a monthly gathering of adults who are fans of children’s literature. Professionals, librarians, authors, illustrators, publishers, booksellers, teachers, and anyone else interested in the field are welcome to attend our meetings. The Literary Café provides free Advanced Readers galleys, a rotating series of talks with professionals in the field, and great conversation. This program is for adults only.
