From Acknowledgments; by H. Nichols B. Clark, Director: "Children Should be Seen brings together eighty-three works of original illustration art by eighty-four artists in a comprehensive survey of the best American picture-book art for the years 1997-2007. The exhibition is organized around the theme of the changing image of the child in the American picture book and thus in contemporary American culture. A major goal of the exhibition is to prompt lively discussion on the tone and texture and very quality of life of the present generation of American children, and to consider the role that illustrated books can play in a culture that is increasingly saturated with post-industrial-age new media." Selected as an honorable mention in the Exhibition Catalogs division of the AAM Museum Publications Design Competition.

From "Acknowledgments" by Alexandra Kennedy, Executive Director of The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art "When you, like me, read Marcus's interview with Waber, the last interview he gave, I am certain you too will wish you had been able to know him Witty, modest, insightful, always a gentleman, Waber was a great artist in the age of great artists. His journey -- from child sketches to art school to promotional and editorial design work in Manhattan to children's books -- is familiar. His art, however, was uniquely his own."
