Disaster Relief
Raffle
Big white mouse and little
brown mouse are tending a garden of flowers on the May pages in Susan L.
Roth’s charming board book for preschoolers, My Love for You All Year
Round (Dial, 2004). The original artwork for this spread, donated by
the artist for the 2010 Texas Library Disaster Relief Raffle, is a
multi-layered collage of colored and textured papers rich in color,
shading, and detail.
Susan Roth is an author
and illustrator of more than 40 books, including a recent collaboration
with Greg Mortenson to create Listen to the Wind: The Story of Dr.
Greg and Three Cups of Tea. Through text and collages of paper and
fabric from around the world, Roth and Mortenson share the story of his
school-building initiatives in Pakistan.
The raffle will be held on
Friday, April 16, during the second general session of the TLA Annual
Conference in San Antonio. Tickets are available
online (mail by Monday, April 9)and will be sold onsite at the
spring conference: $5 each or 5 for $20.
Take a chance on art and
improve the chances that your library association can help Texas
libraries recover from natural disasters.
The Gallery gets
its name from the first auction items, the complete set
of illustrations for Rosemary Wells' Itsy Bitsy Spider (Scholastic
Press/Bunny Reads Back series). Ms. Wells also donated the illustrations from
The
Bear Went Over the Mountain,
an off-drawing which
was raffled at
the 1999 conference, and a cover for a new release of Morris's Disappearing
Bag which was raffled online. Visit
Rosemary
Wells at her website.
