"My goal is to connect authors and illustrators in the children's literature community so we can collaborate, learn, and grow together," said Gribble.  The brunch will be hosted at Gribble's home in Tribeca.  It's only natural Gribble would open her home to writers and artists; her townhouse is the original site of Franklin Furnace, a downtown performance, installation and exhibition space.  Children's book authors, illustrators, librarians and parent/family interest media, and bloggers interested in attending are welcome to email [email protected] for additional information.
