If We Ran the Zoo: Animals in Children's Book Illustration
<p>If We Ran the Zoo: Animals in Children’s Book Illustration</p><p><em>October 6, 2018 – January 13, 2019</em></p><p>Stories about animals have always been a staple of children’s literature. One of the earliest known books aimed at children, the 17th century publication Orbis sensualium pictus, taught children the alphabet by mimicking animal noises. This trope continued in the early- and mid-20th century, called the Golden Age of children’s book illustration. Drawn from the Zerzanek Collection of Original Art from Children's Literature on loan to the CRMA from the Cedar Rapids Public Library, If We Ran the Zoo looks at the various ways animals have shaped children’s literature, from simple science books to loyal pets to fantastical, talking companions.</p><p>Image caption:</p><p>Audrey Chalmers, untitled drawing from <em>Birthday of Obash</em>, page 6, undated, charcoal on paper, 8 ½ x 9 11/16 inches, on loan from the Zerzanek Collection of the Cedar Rapids Public Library, L2009.0217.</p> 2018-12-11 16:00:00 -0600

Wednesday Women at Prairiewoods
<p>Are you a woman looking for spiritual enrichment, inspiration and motivation? Join this vibrant group of women that finds spiritual growth every Wednesday in the supportive setting of Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha). You are welcome to join any time and to come any Wednesday you can! Topics arise from within the hearts and minds of those gathered. This winter (Nov. 7–Jan. 23), we are exploring a holistic approach to forgiveness and its impact on our spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. Reflecting with Marcia Ford’s <em>The Sacred Art of Forgiveness: Forgiving Ourselves and Others through God’s Grace</em>, we consider coming to terms with anger, bitterness and resentment held within our bodies; understanding the differences between forgiveness and reconciliation; taking the initiative in forgiving; learning strategies for listening “with the whole body” in emotionally charged situations; knowing when to forgive and let go—and when to forgive and take action; learning ways of consciously raising our awareness of God in forgiving; and sourcing compassion for others and for self. Deep reflection, learning, lively conversation, laughter, storytelling and inquiry all generate incredible energy and spiritual stimulation. Participants will also view TED Talks, converse, reflect, support and challenge one another to personal growth in any stage of life. The group will have its annual Christmas Luncheon at 11 a.m. on Dec. 12 and will not meet Dec. 19 or 26 in honor of Christmas. The cost is $10 per session (but please come even if you cannot afford to pay). Registration is not necessary. For more information, contact Ann Jackson, PBVM, at 319-395-6700, ext. 203, or ajackson@prairiewoods.org.</p> 2017-07-01 13:00:00 -0500
