Adam Rubin, author of Dragons Love Tacos and Those Darn Squirrels, explores the Come Together storytelling exhibition through a children's literature lens.
Why we picked this
Picture books are among the most distilled forms of storytelling that exist. Rubin's perspective on 3,000 years of narrative is likely to be more pointed and more interesting than most.
Adam Rubin is the author of Dragons Love Tacos, Those Darn Squirrels, Ricky the Rock That Couldn’t Roll, and several other widely read children’s books. His work is known for its comic precision and its understanding of what makes a story stick, the same qualities that have driven storytelling across every era the Morgan’s Come Together exhibition surveys.
This gallery talk invites Rubin to move through the exhibition and reflect on it from his own creative vantage point. The format is one of the Morgan’s strongest: a practitioner in direct conversation with historical material, with the exhibition itself as the backdrop.
Admission is free. The Morgan Library & Museum is located at 225 Madison Avenue, New York.
