Hilary Knight and Kay Thompson: "I AM Eloise"

For a bit of fun, check out this wikipedia entry for Kay Thompson, and please please please note the fabuuuulous illustration by Hilary Knight for Vanity Fair.

Above, the nifty munch place @ the Met mentioned in previous post...while we were on the subject of Eloise...

Hats off, always, to Hilary...the master. 

Looks like our magnificent 

Mr. Knight will be at Books of Wonder 

on November 13...oh, to be in the Big Apple on that day! 

If you are--in the big A.--don't miss it: 

Hilary Knight is a treasure and a wonder...

an American Legend, methinks. Cheers!

Handily, again...

The first hand I fell in love with at the Met. In Asian Art, nicely situated near the yummy balcony where you can sit and have a delish bite of lunch and watch the passersby and marvel at the glorious Met architecture. Eloise would love it (for 5.5 minutes, and then she'd be off and running...).

what is art.books.children?

Art.books.children is interested in 

children's books and art, 

& the people who write, illustrate, 

and care about these things.

Like you, for instance.

We like to think about the best art in 

the children's book world,

and where the children's book world is going. 

If you're reading this on the web, 

guess where we think a lot of it is going?

There's no attempt, whatsoever, at this time,

to include anyone other than great authors and illustrators

and thinkers,

and stuff,

and a few other things we think 

might appeal to you, because... 

as Eloise knows:

getting bored 

is not 

allowed.
