Painting by Author/Illustrator Brian LiesIn 2009, the talented and generous author/illustrator Grace Lin donated 11 original paintings to the Foundation for Children's Books to be auctioned on eBay as a benefit for its programs in under-served schools.
This year, the FCB is fortunate enough to have 10 different illustrators contributing to our "Small Graces" auction. Each month a small, unpublished, original painting will be auctioned on eBay with 100% of the proceeds to support the FCB's author/illustrator visits and residencies in urban schools. Each painting will illustrate a "small Grace."
This month's painting (seen above), a gorgeous piece by author/illustrator Brian Lies based on his new book Bats at the Ballgame, is on auction now through Friday, September 17.
