Illustrator Doug\nSalati returns to the OPL to present his new book<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oneida\u2019s own Doug Salati returns to Oneida Public Library on\nWednesday, Sept. 25, at 6 p.m. to present his recently published children\u2019s\npicture book, \u201cLawrence in the Fall,\u201d in which his evocative illustrations\naccompany the story by Matthew Farina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new book, geared for children aged 3 to 5 years and\npublished this year by Disney Hyperion, follows the little fox Lawrence and his\nfather into the woods to discover something \u201ccollectible\u201d that Lawrence can\npresent to his class mates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its review of the book, Publishers Weekly wrote: \u201cSalati\nbuilds the visual arc and emotional landscape of the story with soft pencil\nlines, muted browns and blues, and sensitive characterizations, lingering just\nenough on anxious moments that Lawrence\u2019s newfound confidence feels like a big\nreward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salati previously worked with famed children\u2019s author Tomie\ndePaolo in illustrating the 2017 children\u2019s book \u201cIn a Small Kingdom.\u201d He\npresented that book and talked about his approach to book illustration at the\nOPL in July 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2003 graduate of Oneida High School, Salati received his\nmaster\u2019s in fine arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York and was a 2015\nrecipient of a Maurice Sendak Foundation\u2019s Sendak Fellowship. He currently\nlives in Brooklyn working as both illustrator and art teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his Sept. 25 appearance at the OPL, Salati, will read\n\u201cLawrence in the Fall,\u201d talk about his work and lead the children in a fall\nscene craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family event is free and open to the Public. For\nmore information, stop by the library or call 315.363.3050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
