If you enjoy children’s books and if you read books to young children, chances are you’ve enjoyed the illustrations of Connecticut artist and illustrator Robert Andrew Parker.  His children’s books will be featured in the display case at Canton Public Library for the months of April and May.

Robert Andrew Parker’s illustrated children’s books range widely from science and history to biography and mythology, from explorers to musicians, from geography to astronomy.  The display complements a gallery show of the artist’s work at Canton’s Gallery on the Green from April 23 through May 23.  The display also precedes a larger show in the library gallery for the months of May and June which will feature Parker’s illustration of the works of such literary greats as W. H. Auden, Marianne Moore, Vladimir Nabokov, William Faulkner, and Joseph Heller.
