Boswell Book Company presents an event with husband-and-wife team Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek, author and illustrator of Finding Things.
If you were on a walk and found a ball, you could take it home and play with it. You are likely to find many other wonderful things as you explore the world—maybe even a new friend—and that makes you very lucky.
Award-winning creators Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek’s collaborations are always exceptional, full of vivid and deceptively simple observations of the world around us. Finding Things features a succinct text and exquisite, emotionally rich illustrations, and encourages readers to be creative and to find purpose and connections in what surrounds them. A terrific read-aloud to treasure and share, as well as a great title for visual literacy and emerging readers, Finding Things is also a wonderful choice for social and emotional learning.
Kevin Henkes is the recipient of the Children’s Literature Legacy Award, as well as the Caldecott Medal, two Caldecott Honors, two Newbery Honors, and two Geisel Honors. His other books include The World and Everything in It, A Parade of Elephants, and the beloved Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse.
Laura Dronzek is a painter whose work has been exhibited nationally. Her picture books include Moonlight, by Helen V. Griffith; It Is Night, by Phyllis Rowand; White Is for Blueberry, by George Shannon; Little Houses, by Kevin Henkes; and a quartet of seasonal picture books also by Kevin Henkes.
Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek live in Madison, Wisconsin.
