Whimsical children’s book illustrations highlight animals and nature as a source of love, wonder and joy. Featuring more than 30 framed illustrations from the Little Golden Books series, vintage books and a reading nook, Golden Legacy features works from some of the best-known children’s books of the past 80 years, including “The Poky Little Puppy” illustrated by Gustaf Tenggren and “Chicken Little” illustrated by Richard Scarry. First published in 1942, Little Golden Books have delighted generations of readers. When children’s books were a luxury, the company used a uniform size to sell picture books at a modest price, making reading more accessible to families across the United States. Today, Little Golden Books boasts more than 700 book titles through Penguin Random House and has featured numerous Caldecott Medal-winning illustrators. This exhibition was organized by the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature, Abilene, Texas.
