Kazu Kibuishi's magical world of the library

This week, we've shared with you Kazu Kibuishi's illustration and companion resources that are a part of our Art of Read Every Day campaign. We recently had each Art of Read Every Day illustration (13 in total) framed to hang in a gallery in our corporate headquarters. Above is a picture we grabbed of Kibuishi's work right before it was framed.

What I love most about this work is the story behind it. During an interview with Kibuishi about this project he said, "It was actually a soft tribute to the kids in Newtown, because it happened around that same time...The piece represents these children finding some kind of solace in literature. They're going into this fantastic world that is a happy, friendly place."

And what a lovely tribute it is. You can watch the full interview with Kibuishi here
