Childhood Classics: 100 Years of of Children’s Book Illustration Exhibition

The show explores the history of children’s books from the turn of the century pen and ink Mother Goose art of Sarah Noble Ives, to the most popular works of today, including the digital creations of Mo Willems. Childhood Classics was curated from the collection of Lois Sarkisian and Lee Cohen, the co-founders of Every Picture Tells A Story – the innovative and influential gallery the couple owned and operated in Los Angeles for over a quarter century.

The exhibition and associated free public events are made possible by generous sponsorship from community leader Janet Johnson.
