Behind The ABC of It: A Talk With Curator Lisa Von Drasek

When I heard that Lisa Von Drasek, the curator of the Children's Literature Collection at the University of Minnesota had given a home to a new ABC of It (the children's literature exhibit that Leonard Marcus curated in NYC), I was intrigued.

Giving birth!  All the kids are doing it these days.  And you know what giving birth means, right?  It means having a little extra time to blog and get my non-work related projects done.  Though, naturally, I wrote 50% of this post a day ago and then must have failed to save the darn thing.  […]

The NYPL Exhibit You Won’t Hear as Much About

August 9, 2013 by Betsy Bird

All the talk in the press and the news recently has concentrated on New York Public Library’s current children’s literary exhibit The ABC of It, as curated by Leonard Marcus.  It is, justifiably, remarkable.  But exit the exhibit and you’ll find that it’s not the only children’s literary piece going on in the library at […]

The ABC of It: New York Public Library gives a children’s literary exhibit its all
