  • Creating Children's Books Symposium Friday, October 17
    Creating Children’s Books Symposium Friday, October 17, 2014 Keynote Address, by Leonard S. Marcus An Art in the Making: The American Picture Book Comes of Age It’s an honor and pleasure to be here at Penn--and here in the city of Philadelphia, with its long and illustrious history as a proving ground and home for children’s book authors and artists and their creations. Howard Pyle, who is so often called the “father of American illustration,” taught his craft from 1894 at the Drexel Institute, where his students included Frank Schoonover, Jessie Willcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green, and Violet Oakley. A generation later, during the Great Depression, Bernard Waber grew up here, and while training to be a graphic designer at the Philadelphia School of Industrial Art went on sketching expeditions to the Philadelphia Zoo, where he learned to love--and draw— crocodiles like the one who became his best-known picture-book hero, Lyle. Norton Juster studied architecture at Penn in the late 1940s on his way to writing The Phantom Tollbooth, an uncategorizable classic that for more than half a century has served young people as a kind of blueprint for thinking freely and keeping faith with their own ideas. Jerry Pinkney was born, raised, and educated in this city, and has returned here often--last summer as the subject of Witness, a major retrospective of his work at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Three-time Caldecott Medal winner David Wiesner lives here now. As for collections, the Free Library of Philadelphia is home to picture book art by Beatrix Potter and Robert Lawson, illustrator of The Story of Ferdinand.

  • Children's Book Publishing
    Children's Book Publishing RACHAEL W. DEANGELO THISARTICLE WILL COVER ALL BOOKS exclusive of textbooks and paperback books published for children from pre- school through junior high school. It is based on data secured from existing literature and research in the field, forty returns from a questionnaire sent to children's book editors and/or persons re- sponsible for the juvenile list in publishing houses, interviews with selected editors and other authorities on the subject, and personal study and research. The history of children's book publishing is an important segment of the social history of this country since each generation reveals itself in its children's books. For about two hundred years, from the printing in 1646 of the first children's book in America, John Cotton's Milk for Babes, Drawn out of the Breast of Both Testaments. the Puritan influence of the "good Godly books" persisted. The scant and mediocre children's literature of the period was "overloaded with pre- cocious goodness, morbid piety, and sickly sentiment," l and was designed to edify if not to terrify. In the second half of the nineteenth century, America entered upon her Golden Age of children's literature, in spite of a stream of poorly written information books and the stilted, repetitious Elsie Dinsmore and Rollo travel series. Such writers as Mary Mapes Dodge, Louisa May Alcott, Mark Twain, Joel Chandler Harris, Howard Pyle, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Kate Douglas Wiggin, Laura E. Richards, and Frances Hodgson Burnett brought new stature and distinction to children's books. Two epoch-making books of that period are Alcott's Little Women (1868) for its genuine realism and Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer ( 1876) which "carried realism across the tracks." Three early children's magazines-Our Young Folks, Horace Scud- der's Riverside Magazine for Young People and Mary Mapes Dodge's Mrs.

  • Author/Organizer Name, Af Filiation, And
    Mid-Twentieth Century American Ideals: The Life & Children's Literature of Robert Lawson Sharon McQueen School of Library and Information Studies University of Wisconsin-Madison ABSTRACT Robert Lawson is the only children’s book creator to have been awarded the highest United States honors for both children’s book illustration and children’s writing. In addition to receiving honor awards in each category, he won the Caldecott Medal for They Were Strong and Good in 1941 and the Newbery Medal for Rabbit Hill in 1945.1 Though critical analysis of his work continues to this day, no substantial biographical work has been undertaken since his death in 1957. The most extensive work published to date is found in a slim monograph by Gary D. Schmidt, one volume in Twayne’s United States Author Series.2 A brief biographical sketch is included in the work, but the majority of the text is Schmidt’s literary analysis by genre. My biography of Robert Lawson comprises one of three biographies in my larger work, a cultural history of the 1936 picture book The Story of Ferdinand—the other two being that of the picture book’s author, Munro Leaf, and its editor, May Massee.3 All three were important players in the development of modern children’s literature. The narrative created from this biographical work enriches our understanding of youth literature from a print culture perspective. During a career that spanned four decades, Lawson created over sixty-five books, but the 1936 picture book The Story of Ferdinand remains his best-known and well-loved.

  • A History of Public Library Services and Publishing for Children in the United States
    Female Advocacy and Harmonious Voices: A History of Public Library Services and Publishing for Children in the United States KAYE. VANDERGRIFT ABSTRACT THISARTICLE USES A FEMINIST STANDPOINT to examine the beginnings of li- brary service to children in this country and the women instrumental in designing that service. It also examines the complex institutional and interpersonal relationships among these female librarians and the women who founded children’s publishing. Together these two groups of women, as advocates both for children and for books, set forth a vision of service bringing the two together. INTRODUCTION During the last quarter of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries, a number of factors converged to create the patterns of children’s services in libraries still evident in the United States. New thinking about the nature of childhood and of public education, social and economic changes in an era of immigration, the closing of the fron- tier, two world wars, and the gradual tolerance of women in the work- place provided a context and a catalyst for women eager to respond to societal issues. In a parallel pattern of development, the professionali- zation of, and specialization within, librarianship, the concern for librar- ies as physical spaces, the availability of Carnegie monies for library build- ings,’ and the development of materials for children within the publish- ing industry converged to establish what has become one of the most visible and most popular aspects of public library service today. Men still dominated scholarly and professional communities in most of these arenas, but it was the leadership of a dedicated group of female Kay E.
