 David Macaulay and David Carroll share more than just a first name. The two men are both authors and illustrators, and they’re both recipients of MacArthur “Genius Grants.” On April 3, they’ll be sharing their stories with students, teachers and others at Bow High School. New Hampshire author and storyteller Rebecca Rule will lead the interviews and discussion.
The New Hampshire State Council on the Arts presents Follow the Passion: A Celebration & Exploration of Arts, Literacy and Creativity in Education, with David Macaulay and David Carroll. The program begins at 9 a.m. at Bow High School and will include a box lunch, opportunities for book purchase and signing, plus a day pass for the Currier Museum of Art's exhibit “Building Books: The Art of David Macaulay" running March 7, 2009 through June 14, 2009.
'Macaulay is a visual storyteller. His architectural series of books includes Cathedral, Pyramid, Mosque, and How Things Work. His most recent publication, The Way We Work, illustrates the remarkable workings of the human body.
Carroll, a naturalist, author, and illustrator, has the eye of an artist, the mind of a scientist, the voice of a storyteller, and the soul of a conservationist. His books include Swampwalker Journal, Self-Portrait with Turtles, Trout Reflections, and The Year of the Turtle. In the spring of 2009, a new book, Following the Water, a Hydromancer's Notebook, will be published.
 The event, which is open to the public, is designed especially for teachers, children’s librarians, teaching artists, parents, and middle- through high-school students.
Follow the Passion is a partnership event of the N.H. State Council on the Arts with Bow High School, the Currier Museum of Art, and the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire. Pre-registration is required. Registration fees, forms, agenda, and other details will be posted by February 1 on the State Arts Council's website, www.nh.gov/nharts.
