Internationally Acclaimed Children's Author and Illustrator DyAnne Disalvo: Reception and Book Signing

Come meet internationally aclaimed children's book author and illustrator DyAnne DiSalvo as she displays her original works at the Chestnut Hill Gallery! Born, raised and housebroken in Brooklyn, New York, DyAnne DiSalvo decided to become a children's book illustrator when her kindergarten teacher at P.S 230  told her that, "books were not born in the library."  Inspired to persue her art -- which was the only thing in school that she was ever good at -- DiSalvo followed her lifelong dream, took a lot of subways, got a lot of rejection letters, and finally got her first book.  Published since 1980, her award-winning illustrated books include renowned authors Beverly Clearly, Mary Pope Osborne, Jean Fritz, Jane O'Connor, Patricia Reilly Giff, Jean Marzollo and Amy Hest. Works on display September 9-24. Reception and book-signing September 17th. Don't miss it!
