New York Times Article:
1. It is a wonderful opportunity that a number of Westchester cultural institutions have collaborated around the theme of children's book illustration. The exhibition allows a child's world to open up through their eyes and formulate their own opinions about the illustrations. The illustrator explain what the illustrations mean. Children learn literacy from the illustrations and the meaning through their own eyes.
2. The illustrations and explanations are a great way for children to learn. It is not the "traditional" way to learn literacy. "A picture is worth 1000 words" is relevant in that pictures tend to catch one's attention and the words help to explain that person's interpretation of the picture. The quote, "he's not just showing you how it's done, he's trying to get you to feel some of his sense of amazement," said Lara Vookles, further drives home the point of the above sentence.
3. I am wondering why doesn't this type of exhibit exsist in New Jersey? I'd like to take my kids there.
