    Bringing Stories to Children Where They Need Them Most

    Picture Book Parade is proud to partner with Children's Minnesota to create rotating picture book exhibits at both the Minneapolis and St. Paul hospital campuses. These exhibits transform hospital hallways and waiting spaces into places of imagination, comfort, and connection by featuring books from diverse MN authors and illustrators.

    By bringing literature into everyday spaces, we're helping children and caregivers encounter stories that reflect the richness of their communities while supporting the artists who create them.
