Get ready for the holidays as Caldecott and National Book Award-winning children’s author and illustrator Chris Van Allsburg provides an inside look at the creative process that promises to engage the child in all of us. Like the characters in The Polar Express, kids attending are encouraged to come in their pajamas!
We are pleased to welcome this beloved storyteller, whose books include The Garden of Abdul Gasazi (1979), Jumanji (1981), Zathura (2002), and a host of other contemporary classics, for an evening of family fun.

"The inclination to believe in the fantastic may strike some as a failure in logic, or gullibility, but it’s really a gift. A world that might have Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster is clearly superior to one
that definitely does not."—Chris Van Allsburg
