A trio of top children's book artists will discuss how illustrators translate an author's voice into images in "Storytelling With the Paintbrush: Artists and the Children's Book," a free event at 3 p.m. Sunday in the Mark Taper Auditorium at the Richard J. Riordan Central Library in downtown L.A.
Moderated by 2007 Newbery Award recipient Susan Patron ("The Higher Power of Lucky"), the panel features Marla Frazee, who teaches children's book illustration at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and is known for her distinctive pen-and-ink and watercolor work; Kadir Nelson, a recipient of a 2007 Caldecott Honor for his dramatic paintings in "Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom," by Carole Boston Weatherford; and mixed media and computer artist David Diaz.
