Immigrants have been an essential part of innovation and progress in every part of American life and culture, including children’s literature. In fact, many of the titles that we consider staples of American children’s literature were created by immigrants.
Gustaf Tenggren, Margret and H.A. Rey, Laurent de Brunhoff, and Yuyi Morales all immigrated to the United States during the 20th century, and each has made remarkable contributions to the children’s books of their era and beyond.
This month join us for Story Hours and adult programming to learn more about these creators and celebrate their inspiring legacies.
