Eighty Years of Caldecott Books
December 12, 2017 - May 13, 2018
Central Gallery
This exhibition brought together 80 first-edition Caldecott Medal award books. While the books themselves are valuable artifacts, it is the art inside for which they are celebrated. Original illustrations from several titles are featured, including art by Marcia Brown, the Caldecott’s first “triple-crown” winner.
