A prolific writer and artist, Grace Lin’s twenty-five-year career spans board books, early readers, and middle grade novels, garnering Caldecott, Newbury, and Geisel honors along the way. Lin is a dedicated advocate for diversity in children’s book publishing, with a popular TEDx talk, “The Windows and Mirrors of Your Child’s Bookshelf” and created the video essay, “What to do when you realize classic books from your childhood are racist?” for PBS News Hour and New England Public Radio.  

This career retrospective of more than 80 works will celebrate all aspects of Lin’s creativity with original art, sketches, manuscripts, and videos.
