    DIVERSIFY, DIVERSIFY...

    Author-illustrators can keep their work fresh and enhance their livelihood by publishing in varied genres. So says John Bemelmans Marciano, grandson of Ludwig Bemelmans and an author and illustrator in his own right.

    His grandfather left Marciano a priceless legacy, the classic "Madeline" books. He also left an unfinished manuscript, "Madeline's Christmas in Texas," which became central to Marciano's first published work, Madeline in America and Other Holiday Tales (coauthored with Bemelmans). Marciano has sent Madeline to places far and near in subsequent picture books, including Madeline and the Cats of Rome and Madeline at the White House.

    Yet "Madeline" stories are just part of Marciano's diverse output. He has published books on word origins, picture books featuring other memorable characters and a biography of that most fascinating character, his grandfather Ludwig Bemelmans. He also looks forward to the publication of a chapter-book series in the fall. Learn about the creation of these fine books and the importance of exploring diverse genres when Marciano speaks to the Children's Book Guild on May 17.
