Your little readers (or almost readers) love flipping through the drawings on the page almost as much as sounding out the words — sometimes even more. Now, get some one-on-one time with those incredible sketches.
“Ordinary into Extraordinary,” an exhibit at the Brooklyn Central Library, features original picture book illustrations by local artist Melanie Hope Greenberg. Her seven children’s books portray the usual and unusual everyday moments of urban NYC life, from a child watching a dog walker in Brooklyn Heights to a Coney Island performance troupe of mermaids. Kids will love these colorful creations that help tell a story that takes place in their own environment.
When: Mon-Sat. through June 13; All ages; Free.
Where: Brooklyn Central Library, Youth Wing, 10 Grand Army Plaza, 718-230-2100, brooklynpubliclibrary.org.
