What Might You Do? Christian Robinson

What Might You Do? features original works of art for 17 children’s books illustrated by award-winning artist Christian Robinson. Robinson produces his colorful and modern pictures primarily in acrylic paint and collage, and the exhibition includes study drawings, finished works, and books for reading. Playful, poignant, and full of positive energy, Robinson’s illustrations celebrate the value of different perspectives and kindness to all.

Growing up in an apartment crowded with family, Christian Robinson took up drawing to make space for himself and create the world he wanted to live in. Instantly familiar to parents of young children today, Robinson’s illustrations appear in best-selling and critically acclaimed books. Published in 2015, Last Stop on Market Street, written by Matt de la Peña and illustrated by Robinson, reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and was awarded a Caldecott Honor, a Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor, and the Newbery Medal.
