PEREZ AND MARTINA

Pura Belpré & Carlos Sanchez

This exhibit is a larger-than-life recreation of the iconic Romeo-and-Juliet-esque scene of the pretty Spanish cockroach at her balcony and the elegant Perez bowing to her. Inside Martina’s house visitors will explore her kitchen, where Perez meets his tragic demise, and interact with several elements that celebrate Belpré’s storytelling and legacy.

HARRY THE DIRTY DOG

Gene Zion & Margaret Bloy Graham

Our Harry the Dirty Dog exhibit is the first in a series of bathtub benches, where you'll soak up the story and illustration just by taking a seat. Visitors can sit surrounded by bubbles and Harry, who is insistently holding his scrub brush

LAST STOP ON MARKET STREET

Matt de la Peña & Christian Robinson

To demonstrate the sort of immersive experiences we're creating in The Rabbit hOle, our team built the bus from the award-winning book Last Stop on Market Street. Visitors can climb aboard the Market Street bus and “take the ride” with CJ and Nana from cover to cover, enveloped in a sensory experience that puts them directly into the story.

I WANT MY HAT BACK

Jon Klassen

There are two types of people in this world: those who believe the bear ate that hat-thieving bunny, and those who don't. Both will enjoy our I Want My Hat Back exhibit. Visitors can open up the bear's tummy, where they may find the bunny or just an empty space.
