Join us for a virtual visit viewing party with acclaimed illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser. Registration required.
Robin Preiss Glasser wore tiaras and tutus when she danced with the Pennsylvania Ballet. Now she happily spends her days in jeans, drawing. She has illustrated many acclaimed picture books, including the bestselling Fancy Nancy series and won a Children’s Choice Award for Best Illustrator of the Year for Fancy Nancy and the Mermaid Ballet. She has returned to her ballet roots with her latest book Grand Jeté and Me by former prima ballerina Allegra Kent.
As part of this special event, Robin Preiss Glasser has generously donated a signed and numbered fine art giclee print from her new book, Grand Jeté and Me, to Ascension Parish Library which will be displayed at our Gonzales location. Additionally, she has donated a signed and numbered test print giclee of the same image which the library will be giving away in a public drawing. Entrants must be an Ascension Parish resident between the ages of 0–18 years and submit a written or drawn response to Robin Preiss Glasser about a time in their life when an adult shared something that inspired them or any other autobiographical defining moment. Submissions will be accepted at all locations from December 1 through January 10 and the winner will be announced in mid-January.
To register, call (225) 647-3955.
