Good news for lovers of Ezra Jack Keats! From September 9th to January 29th, the Jewish Museum in New York is holding the first major US exhibition of the children's book writer's gorgeous illustrations. I won't be going north for a bit so I'll miss this, but here's hoping this becomes a travel exhibition....
