Tell Me Another Story

Exhibition Website

Jul 14 2018 - Jun 23 2019

Tell Me Another Story is the second exhibition organized to directly relate to the some of the stories read by third graders throughout the Fresno Unified School District, organized to coordinate with the Kennedy Center's Any Given Child Education Program. It includes the original artwork of five illustrators selected from the student’s McGraw-Hill Wonders textbook for their unique and appealing visual interpretations of stories based on legends, folk tales, true-life events, or social issues. 

The artists include Eileen Christelow, illustrator and author of Vote!; Marla Frazee illustrator of The Talented Clementine; Stéphane Jorisch, illustrator of The Real Story of Stone Soup; Emily Arnold McCully, illustrator of Nora’s Ark; and Bill Slavin, illustrator of All Aboard!: Elijah McCoy’s Steam Engine. The represented stories illustrate many character-building qualities: courage, determination, innovativeness, honesty, trust, self-confidence, perseverance, resourcefulness, sharing, survival, duty, integrity, and truth.
