Special Author Event

Children’s Author Lunch with Jerry Pinkney

Friday, March 16
12:15–1:45 PM
Pennsylvania Convention Center–Terrace Ballroom I

Jerry Pinkney is an award-winning illustrator of over one hundred books for children, including classics, such as Gulliver’s Travels, The Ugly Duckling, and The Jungle Book. His hope is to get readers of all ages to imagine a story through drawing and to “lead the viewer into a world that only exists because of that picture.” Pinkney has been awarded five Coretta Scott King Awards, four New York Times Best Illustrated Book Awards, and five Caldecott Honors in addition to the 2010 Caldecott Medal. Pinkney currently lives with his wife, author Gloria Jean, in Westchester County, N.Y.
