Dinner and a Movie Screening: Story & Pictures By

Celebrate Children’s Book Week with us!

Learn about the stories of beloved children’s book authors and illustrators in a screening of STORY & PICTURES BY – the first feature documentary to take audiences behind the scenes to meet the authors and artists who create children’s picture books. The film follows Christian Robinson, Yuyi Morales, and Mac Barnett – three bookmakers leading the new “golden age” of kids literature – as they create experimental work that reflects the mysteries of childhood, champion the marginalized, and provide children with windows and mirrors, even when their own lives are not fairy tales.

Through rare archival and untapped insights, we also come to meet the first boundary pushers of the art form and understand why the classics still endure today.

Come early to purchase dinner from local food vendors in the plaza. The film begins at 6 PM.
