Ronald Himler Exhibit Reception and Conversation

Worlds of Words hosts a reception and conversation with award-winning artist and illustrator Ronald Himler in the collection to celebrate their new exhibit, "Creating Hope through Resilience: The Picturebook Art of Ronald Himler." The exhibit features Himler’s original paintings from The Roses in My Carpets, Always with You, The Caged Birds of Phnom Penh and The Lily Cupboard. These books and many of his other books can be perused in the collection. Hands-on activities for children of all ages include an introduction to watercolor, an exercise with elastic bands to demonstrate the concept of resilience and an opportunity to depict oneself in a “dummy” layout page.
