Hilary Knight, who has illustrated more than fifty books for children including Kay Thompson’s Eloise appeared at the Eric Carle Museum for a special storytime program followed by a book signing. The event was to celebrate the 60th birthday of Eloise, declared by The New York Times as “one of the most recognizable characters in children’s literature!”
Pictured below and in this sketch by illustrator John Jay Cabuary, Hilary is reading to the captivated audience.
