Every page turn contains infinite possibilities — a journey of discovery and connections. A New York Times bestselling author of more than 60 books, Barnett’s books have garnered numerous prizes, including two Caldecott Honors. On his nationwide tour as national ambassador, Barnett invites readers of all ages to join him in celebrating what’s vibrant, joyful and inspiring about this quintessential American art form. “Children deserve entertaining stories and meaningful art! I am, of course, excited to talk to young readers. But I’m also eager to speak to adults — who often underestimate or overlook children’s literature — to champion the power of picture books and the brilliance of the kids who read them.” — Mac Barnett, National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Disclaimer: Photographs and video of this event will be taken and used for promotional and archival purposes by the National Ambassador program and Guthrie Memorial Library.
