The pleasures of picture books--the power of narrative, the magic of pictures, the togetherness of children and adults--can last a lifetime. Equally important, children's books have long been the forerunners of innovation in book design, consistently redefining what books can be. This show explores the intangible workings of children's books, with a focus on design and structure. It examines the genesis and evolution of a contemporary book, casts a backward glance at historic innovations in the genre, and looks ahead to the future of the technology of enchantment.
