Bard Graduate Center hosts a literary discussion this Thursday, October 29, at 6:30 p.m. Leonard Marcus, a leading authority on children’s books and their illustration, moderates a conversation with toymaker and toy historian Karen Hewitt and Swedish-born artist, designer, and children’s book illustrator Laura Ljungkvist. They will explore the artistry that underlies the creation of toys and illustrated books that enrich young children’s lives. They reveal to us why some toys and children’s books have withstood the test of time to remain perennial favorites.
