Extending Ezra’s Legacy
Our educational and cultural programs are informed by Ezra’s values, especially his support of public education, the arts and children’s literature. The beneficiaries are wide-ranging, from emerging authors and illustrators to educators, scholars, and of course, children. Ezra imagined a better future—our work is helping to make it real.
