Books of Wonder is very pleased to announce an event that celebrates the joy, influence, and power a children’s book can have on readers as we host FIVE contributors to the collection. In this compilation, over 100 celebrated authors, artists, and leaders of society were asked “What children’s book changed the way you see the world?” Put to the test, the group passed with flying colors citing some of the greatest works in the genre as varied and diverse as the selection of contributors. On Thursday, December 3^rd, from 6-8pm, Books of Wonder has the great pleasure of hosting the author and editor of this wonderful collection, ANITA SILVEY, and the following contributors: Newbery Honor author GAIL C. LEVINE (Ella Enchanted), Newbery Honor author ANN M.
