Meet Your Friends from Japan!
ともだちは日本にもいるよ！
Ongoing until September 20, 2011
The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art has a substantial collection of Japanese picture books donated by Japanese publishers, picture book art museums, illustrators, and friends of the museum. These books form the basis for the museum’s new exhibit Meet Your Friends from Japan! ともだちは日本にもいるよ! where guests are invited into the world of modern Japanese picture books that share similar graphic qualities or imaginative themes as those in Eric Carle’s works. Highlighted in the exhibition is the bilingual Japanese/English book Where Are You Going? To See My Friend, a collaboration between two outstanding children’s book artists: Eric Carle and Kazuo Iwamura. For more information about the exhibit, click here.
