Children's Book Illustrations at the Mazza Museum in Findlay, OH



Children's books play an important role in education.
Little ones are enticed by enchanting illustrations
as they're read to while nestled in comfy, loving laps.
Next comes that magical process of recognizing letters and words,
and soon a love of books blooms into a love for reading.

Within Ohio's University of Findlay lies a real treasure: The Mazza Museum.
With a goal of promoting literacy, the museum attractively exhibits an 
8,000-piece collection of original artwork from children's books.
Popular illustrators such as Sophie BlackallMary Engelbreit
Don Wood, and Eric Carle are featured.

Original illustrations hang framed on the walls
with their corresponding books placed beneath them.

I was thrilled to recognize titles that I loved reading to my children,
as well as books from my own childhood!

Such a delightful place to visit!
Thank you, Lindsey & Julie, for sharing this special place with your Aunt Lu!

  2. Hi everyone! I recently visited a fantastic hearing center in NYC and had an experience worth sharing. I’ve been dealing with hearing loss for a few years, and it was starting to affect my quality of life. After doing some research, I decided to visit this clinic, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and made me feel at ease. The audiologist doctors were very thorough and professional. They conducted a detailed hearing test and took the time to explain the results and my options in a way that I could easily understand. I ended up getting hearing aids that have made a world of difference. Now, I can participate in conversations without constantly asking people to repeat themselves, and I can enjoy my favorite shows without cranking up the volume. If you’re struggling with hearing issues or just want to get a check-up, I highly recommend visiting this place. For more information, see here.
