Award-winning author Mac Barnett is excited to share his passion for picture books with children and adults. The tradition of the picture book is a tradition of experimentation, just like childhood itself. Every page turn contains infinite possibilities – a journey of discovery and connections. On his nationwide tour as national ambassador, Mac invites readers of all ages to join him in celebrating what’s vibrant, joyful and inspiring about this quintessential American art form.
“What excites me is the living, thinking, feeling kid who exists right now and needs a good story. Magic is what happens at that moment in childhood.”
— Mac Barnett, National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature
Each child in attendance will receive a free Mac Barnett book. Additional books will be available to purchase on site, and a signing will follow the event.
Presented in partnership with N.C. A&T State University, Greensboro Public Library, Scuppernong Books, the Arts Council of Greater Greensboro, and Ready for School, Ready for Life.
