But you can’t blame a girl for wishing. I wanted to first catalogue the places I wanted to pay homage to. I came across a few over the last few years and I am intending to add to my list as I discover more holy places for the world of children’s literature.
Here is a list of places from the United States and the UK, that I hope I can visit sometime.
National Center for Children’s Illustrated Literature – Texas, USA
The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Amherst, MA
Mazza Museum at the University of Findlay, USA.
Seven Stories, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
V&A’s collection of Children’s Books ( by appointment only).
They are all across the world in different corners and surely I can’t cover in one trip. But I know that if I wanted to arrange a trip and I have no place to think of, I have this list to exhaust.
Have you been to any of these? If given a chance would you go?
