The Art of the Endpapers at the Eric Carle Museum!

My love of the picture book endpaper borders on obsession. I’m such a fan that I helped establish an award to celebrate them.
So I was particularly excited to see that the Eric Carle museum has an upcoming exhibition all about endpapers.

Twice a year I migrate from Tucson, AZ to Bangor, ME and back again. Thanks to your announcement today I’ll plan to include an Eric Carle visit either in May or in fall on my way southwest. The Eric Carle museum is a fabulous place for those who love children’s literature.
