{"product_id":"100-years-of-childrens-book-week-posters","title":"100 Years of Children's Book Week Posters","description":"Celebrate a century of children's book illustration!\n\nFor families, art lovers, and history buffs alike, Leonard S. Marcus's visual history tour of 100 years of children's book illustration gathers in one glorious volume the posters of the annual Children's Book Week!\n\nFeaturing work from early luminaries such as N. C. Wyeth and Marcia Brown to more contemporary illustrators like David Wiesner, Mary GrandPré, Christian Robinson, and Jillian Tamaki, this beautiful collection showcases the conceptual and iconic images that have defined children's books for generations of young readers.\n\nWhile the posters within these pages are linked in their resounding advocacy for young people's literacy, they are distinguished by the styles and mediums of their creators and by the historical, social, and cultural influences of their times. Renowned historian Leonard S. Marcus traces these developments in the children's book field with incisive descriptions to accompany each poster.\n\nChildren's Book Week has grown over the past one hundred years from a modest grassroots effort to a full-throttle nationwide annual celebration of literacy and the pleasures of reading. The posters in this book beautifully emphasize Book Week's mission, with slogans such as \"Build the Future with Books,\" \"Get Lost in a Book,\" and \"One World, Many Stories.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 052564508X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.052564508X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Marcus, Leonard S.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
