A Colorful Lunch with Robert Wagt

Pat Lindgren & illustrator Robert Wagt

What do illustrator people talk about over lunch?
Their love of illustration of course! Pat mentioned how
much she likes the work of Jon Klassen and his pictures 
in the children's book Extra Yarn. She explained that the 
girl in the book adds color to her monochromatic town 
by knitting everything in it. So what do we discover 
after leaving the cafe? This yarn-bombed bench!

first knows she can read printed words!"

"Established in 1919, CBW is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the country. Each year, official and local commemorative events are held nationwide at schools, libraries, bookstores, homes  -- wherever young readers and books connect."

Children's Book Week is sponsored by the Children’s Book Council which is the national nonprofit trade association for children’s book publishers.
