With over forty million books in print, Jan Brett is one of the nation's foremost and most widely read author/illustrators for children. This lively exhibition explores the breadth of Brett's art and the travel experiences that have inspired her many children's books and characters.
Favorite stories, from Gingerbread Friends, The Umbrella, and Honey...Honey to her most recent published book, The Nutcracker, are represented by more than 120 original artworks from 19 books, as well as reference materials and selections from the artist's collection of unique objects and artifacts.
