Once Upon a Page: The Art of Children’s Books

Meridian, along with the Mazza Museum in Findlay, Ohio, created Once Upon a Page: The Art of Children’s Books as the inaugural exhibition in a four-part series based on children’s book illustrations. This collection of illustrations by both American and international artists featured beautiful images that represent stories told all over the world. It contained works by artists famous for their contributions to children's literature, as well as representations by illustrators from other countries, and examples drawn from the Mazza Museum’s historic holdings.

Other installments of this children’s book series include Exploring the Great Outdoors, This is Our Land, and A Carnival of Animals.
