On Dec. 7, The Gibbes Museum of Art debuts their first children’s illustration book, G is for Gibbes: A Museum ABC Book at the museum’s store.
The book is written by Gibbes board member Cathy Bennington Jenrette and illustrated by Gibbes creative director Erin Bennett Banks.

The book helps to make the museum experience fun and accessible for children of all ages.
The illustrated children’s book will be released during the museum’s Holiday Santa event on Dec. 7 (just in time for Christmas). Stick around at 2 p.m. for a special reading by author Cathy Jenrette.
