R. Michelson Gallery will be Celebrating Jane Yolen: In her own words

This year for the 37th Annual Illustration Celebration, we are honoring the life and career of Jane Yolen by showcasing a fraction of her more than 400 published illustrated books. Yes- fifteen illustrators showcasing 36 different children’s books is perhaps a fraction of Jane’s lifetime achievements, but speaks to the collected talents and collaborations of the wonderful illustrators working in the industry today.

Enjoy a small selection below as a preview to the larger exhibition. Jane was fastidious in organizing her thoughts and books on her website (we recommend checking it out here!) and we can read about each book in Jane’s own words.
