Barnes and Noble is bringing Aaron Becker, author and illustrator of the Journey Trilogy, and new children's book A Stone for Sascha (released on May 8th!) to Pine Glen on Wednesday, May 9th!
Aaron Becker's Journey was named a Caldecott Honor Book by the American Library Association in 2014. He has worked as an artist in the film and animation industry, where he helped define the look and feel of characters and stories and the movie they become a part of. With the Journey trilogy (Journey, Quest, and Return), he created characters and worlds of his very own using traditional materials and techniques. In A Stone for Sascha, he drew inspiration from his time living in Granada, Spain, where he learned that the stones from many of the city's churches had at one point been part of mosques and, before that, Roman structures. Aaron Becker lives in Amherst, Massachusetts.
All of Aaron Becker's books can be purchased from Barnes and Noble via Pine Glen by April 25th. Aaron Becker will autograph the purchased books on May 9th. Flyers will be sent home tomorrow with more information.
