Sunday, May 1, 2016 - 5:00pm to 6:00pm

In the latest installment of our popular panel series exploring topics relating to picture books, gain insight from award-winning author/illustrators Henry Cole, Raúl Colón, Marla Frazee, Stephen Savage, and David Wiesner about the magic of wordless picture books. Allyn Johnston, Vice President and publisher of Beach Lane Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, will moderate what promises to be an engaging discussion. For adults
