And, in recognition and celebration of the 100th anniversary of Children's Book Week, the Library of Congress launched an online collection of digital versions of "historically significant" children's books published more than 100 years ago. |
 [log in to unmask]" class="">The original Children's Book Week poster by Jessie Willcox Smith, and the 2019 poster by Yuyi Morales. The 2019 poster was distributed to Tennessee public libraries by the Friends of Tennessee Libraries with the help and support of the TENN-SHARE Firefly courier of the Tennessee State Library and Archives. We hope you will share with us photos of CBW activities in your library (perhaps with the anniversary poster in the background?). In addition, Frank Morrison (Bloomsbury Children’s Books) has unveiled his contribution to the Children’s Book Council’s collaborative poster https://everychildareader.net/cbw/collaborativeposter-2019/ . Frank Morrison works as a fine artist and is the award-winning illustrator of many books for children, including I Got the Rhythm, Our Children Can Soar and Jazzy Miz Mozetta, for which he won the Coretta Scott King-John Steptoe Award for New Talent. Frank lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with his wife, author Connie Schofield-Morrison, and their five children. Visit him online at www.morrisongraphics.com. Have a festive week ! ! - Don and the Board of the Friends of Tennessee Libraries (FOTL) |
