Days one and two here at Longwood Center for the Visual Arts for this year’s “LIVE” mural during the Virginia Children’s Book Festival 2018 at Longwood University have been so awesome! Being surrounded by so many excited children and patrons has energized this mural in such a special way. The enthusiasm that LeUyen Pham expresses for her craft inspires us all and I am honored to collaborate with her on this project.

The VCBF brings together authors and illustrators with exciting, dynamic programs to foster the enjoyment of reading among Virginia‘s youth. Thank you to Lowe’s Home Improvement and the National Endowment for the Arts for your support!
