The ABC of It: Why Children’s Books Matter

continuum

January 10, 2019

The ABC of It (Leonard S. Marcus) Leonard S. Marcus visited Minnesota the summer of 2018 on the Hollinshead Fellowship. While he was here researching for a book and curation of another exhibit, he was able to review all the books, manuscripts, and art that we gathered from our collection to support his words.
