Grace Lin’s first picture book, The Ugly Vegetables, was published in 1999 to glowing praise. Twenty-five years later, she has created more than 30 titles, including board books, early readers, and middle grade novels, garnering Caldecott, Newbury, and Geisel honors along the way. Lin is a dedicated advocate for diversity in children’s book publishing, with a popular TEDx talk, “The Windows and Mirrors of Your Child’s Bookshelf” and created the video essay, “What to do when you realize classic books from your childhood are racist?” for PBS News Hour and New England Public Radio. This career retrospective of more than 80 works celebrates all aspects of Lin’s creativity with original art, sketches, manuscripts, and videos.

Entwined Memory: Indigenous Stories of Creation, Place, and Continuity

through  August 2, 2026

Memories are threads we weave together to form stories. For many Indigenous communities across North America, storytelling has helped sustain collective memories for generations. Despite continuous efforts to control and erase Indigenous narratives, Native peoples have proudly proclaimed their histories and identities through stories. Sharing stories knits us together, ties us to those who came before, and helps us pass on the threads of tradition, culture, and knowledge.

Cooking with Eric Carle

through  August 23, 2026

Eric Carle’s career in book publishing began with commissions for Red Flannel Hash and Shoo-Fly Pie (published in 1965), a compilation of folk recipes from across the United States. When he switched over to his signature collage style, Carle continued to feature food in many of his books: Today is Monday concludes with a whole feast, and the board book My Very First Book of Food offers delightful small-scale snacks. From The Very Hungry Caterpillar to Walter the Baker, creatures and characters munch on all kinds of food in Eric Carle’s artwork.
