MOCA Local Genius Awards Educational Events
Byrd Baylor in Conversation
Thursday 23 October 6pm
Free for MOCA members, $5 non-members
Three-time Caldecott Medal honoree for Children's Literature, activist, naturalist, and long time Southern Arizonan, Byrd Baylor shares her stories and life experiences as a writer profoundly influenced by the path of simplicity she has chosen to live. Known not only for the graceful elegance of her words and keen sensibility of the desert southwest, Baylor's prolific output as an author has spanned nearly five decades and included the publication of nearly 30 fiction and non-fiction books each exploring the common humanity in all of us. From Amigo (1963) and Everybody Needs a Rock (1974) to The Table Where Rich People Sit (1994) and And It Is Still That Way: Legends Told by Arizona Indian Children (1998), her books are classic in the best sense of the word.
Location: 149 North Stone Avenue, downtown Tucson next to the Main Library
