I'm exploring children's books in which characters are affected by the Chinese Exclusion Act (specifically paper sons/daughters) as I prep an exhibit around this book. We have all the original illustrations, so I hope to create an experience where patrons feel like they are walking into the book. We interviewed the illustrator, Wilson Ong, & I learned interesting tidbits about oil as a medium for illustration.

LMK if you have a recommendation.
