This illustrated presentation will give an inside look at the path-finding work of Ursula Nordstrom, Harper’s visionary editor of children\u2019s books. The focus is on the hands-on creation of such well-loved classics as Goodnight Moon<\/em>, Harold and the Purple Crayon<\/em>, Charlotte’s Web<\/em>, Where the Wild Things Are<\/em>, and Harriet the Spy<\/em>; on Nordstrom’s thoughts about children and their books; and on the valuable lessons that writers and illustrators of today can learn from her inspired approach to publishing. Q&A will follow the talk, and participants are welcome to bring copies of books for signing.<\/p>\n
