On Sunday, May 17th, 2pm, MOTHER and SFMOMA are hosting a panel conversation featuring illustrator Cátia Chien, Kamperett founder and designer Anna Chiu, and best-selling author Mac Barnett.
Moderated by MOTHER founder and editor Katie Hintz-Zambrano and inspired by SFMOMA’s newest exhibition “Matisse’s Femme au chapeau: A Modern Scandal,” the live discussion will cover each artist’s creative journey, risk-taking, how their tastes have transformed over time, and how they live—and parent—with creative courage.
After our panel discussion, Mac and Cátia will be signing their latest titles.
Our event is part of SFMOMA’s Hat Day programming, which also includes a special hat-making project with Cátia Chien, inspired by her 2026 Caldecott winning book, Fireworks.
RSVP at the link in bio!
“Matisse’s Femme au chapeau: A Modern Scandal” explores the story behind Henri Matisse’s groundbreaking 1905 portrait—a painting that shocked audiences, transformed modern art, and helped launch Fauvism.

I cried and cried with my family in the parking lot of a bowling alley when I got the call. 😭

The 10 winners of The New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children’s Books Award are chosen each year by a rotating panel of three expert judges. On the 2025 panel were the Hans Christian Andersen Medal-winning illustrator Peter Sís, the children’s author Tracey Baptiste and the children’s librarian Amber Moller. Children’s book publishers were invited to submit up to 10 picture books published this year in the United States. The judges made their selections from the nearly 800 books we received purely on the basis of artistic merit.
This is such a dream❤️
Thank you to and esteemed judges Amber Moller

I am absolutely over the moon to share this space with Chen Jiang Hong - congratulations everyone!
Hi! A little intro for those who are new here 👋 - I am the founder of a curated directory highlighting BIPOC kidlit creators’ beautiful picture books. I am also
a picture book artist for over 10 years now and a mom for 5 bleary-eyed years.
Some favorite things —
breakfast food: kale caesar salad with boquerones.
sound: my son laughing (I know it is the obvious thing, but it is seriously - the best.)
unusual smell: the smell of underground garages, which *might* or definitely be a combination of exhaust fumes and damp concrete and not the best thing 🤣. But it takes me back to growing up in Brazil living in an apartment complex and getting into the family car for a long drive to the beach.
Thanks for being here everyone❤️! Say hello and share something about yourself in the comments below!
