Meet David Macaulay, an award-winning author and artist who has helped us to understand the workings of things—from simple gadgets to monumental structures. A Caldecott Medalist and recipient of a prestigious MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, he is celebrated for his international best sellers, Cathedral and The Way Things Work. The artist will discuss his new book, Journey, which tells the story of his emigration from England on the U.S.S. United States, with a signing to follow. Children and families can design and build their own creative structures at our drop in art station.
