100 Great Children's Books | Kickoff Event Live Stream

Watch Judy Blume and Eric Carle in a lively panel discussion followed by a reading of their works to a group of New York City kids.

Watch the live stream below on Monday September 30 at 9 a.m.

The two authors - who have never done a program together - will discuss the history and current state of children’s literature with Leonard Marcus, a renowned expert in the field and curator of The New York Public Library’s acclaimed exhibition The ABC of It: Why Children’s Books Matter.

Both Blume and Carle have books on the NYPL’s new list of “100 Great Children's Books." The list will be available starting September 30 in NYPL branches and online at nypl.org/childrens100.
