Lecture: The Joy, Wisdom and Power of the Picture Book
By Margo Young
$5.00 - 20.00 Suggested donation, everyone welcome, no one turned away
Presentation Description:
An introduction to a recently acquired section of RVML's lending library. Margo Young offers her considerable knowledge of the use of the art form of the children's picture book as spiritual and cultural enrichment to parents and other interested persons. From poet Maya Angelou to the New Yorker's cartoonist Willliam Steig and Joseph Campbell fellow Gerald McDermott, the picture book is a format used and appreciated by many geniuses among us. The collection reviewed and shared tonight is a worthy addition to the library, and a delight to get to know.
Presenter's Biography:
Margo Young has been a collector of picture books for twenty five years. Many of the books she has used with children, teachers and families at schools in North Monterey County in California, and here in Jackson County. They have also been useful for story telling and puppetry at family reading nights and at summer camp fires.
Margo is choosing to donate some of the books to RVML because of their rich spiritual and cultural value. She's introducing those books tonight to an adult audience who will value them for themselves and/or for their use as family reading and story telling.
