This week from Abbey Hendrickson: The Carle



That girl above obsessively dying popsicle sticks green? You guessed it, that's me! Today I thought I'd give a little shout out to a non-profit that's near and dear to my heart. Prior to attending graduate school, I worked as a museum educator at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in picturesque Amherst, Massachusetts. A gorgeous contemporary building set in an apple orchard; talented co-workers; meeting famous illustrators; and being surrounded by original artwork from some of my favorite books (The Twits, anyone?!) all made the experience an incredible one. Have I convinced you to visit The Carle yet? If you can't make it in person, take a virtual tour. Enjoy!
