The Wanda Gag House had a special visitor yesterday. Board Member JoAnne Griebel welcomed Angie Lin, a children's book translator who lives in Hong Kong. Angie has translated a column about picture book museums and independent bookstores in America, written by the famous children literature historian Leonard Marcus, for a Chinese magazine. An issue was about the Wanda Gag House. Attached is the first page of the article.
Thank you for visiting with us, Angie! And thank you to JoAnne for providing a great tour!
