The Taking Tree with Shrill Travesty & Lucy Ruth Cummins

Tonight, author Shrill Travesty and illustrator Lucy Ruth Cummins give an inside look at the backstabbing world of children’s publishing, replete with drawing demonstrations and readings from their new book, The Taking Tree: A Selfish Parody—a snide spin on the classic kid’s book The Giving Tree, about an altruistic arbor that gave up everything for its human friend.
