Fatherhood and family were important themes in John Steptoe’s books, and he often depicted his own children, Bweela and Javaka Steptoe.

We were honored to work with Bweela and Javaka to realize our exhibit celebrating John’s life and work. The exhibit is a Black Bookstore from his book Uptown, where you can peruse his books, John Steptoe Award winning books and more. In the future it will connect to a space that brings to life one his most well-known books, Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandpas, and father figures in our lives! 💛

Just like in the wild, our lupines have been blooming this spring and summer. Nathan has experimented with several techniques to recreate these beautiful flowers in felt.

Eventually, nearly 100 lupines will adorn a special space on our second floor.

"So the tiger came into the kitchen and sat down at the table."

Enjoy some extra tea, cake and anything else you can find in the kitchen today for Judith Kerr's birthday! 🎂 The author and illustrator of The Tiger Who Came to Tea was born June 14, 1923 in Berlin, Germany to German Jewish Parents. As a child she lived in Switzerland, France and then England as her family tried to evade the N***s and the spread of World War II.

Asked how she was able to create books with so much innocence despite the challenges of her own childhood, she said, “Well, stories are a huge comfort when things are bad.”
