Asian Art Museum Storyteller, Miriam Mills, tells the story of Gecko: A Balinese Folktale (adapted by Miriam Mills). Note: This story was inspired by "Go to Sleep, Gecko!" by Margaret Read MacDonald (2006) and a Balinese tale in "Folk Tales from Bali and Lombok" by Margaret Muth Alibash (Jakarta:Penerbit Djambatan, 1990). The story also is retold by Balinese storyteller Made Taro in his "Lagu-Lagu Permainan Traditional Bali" (Denpasar:Upada Sastra, 1999). In Made Taro's version, a woodpecker begins the tale and the chief is a lion, rather than a human.

Exhibition video for "Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney," on view at Norman Rockwell Museum from November 13, 2010 through May 30, 2011. A master of the American picture book ("The Lion & The Mouse," "John Henry," "The Patchwork Quilt," et.al), Jerry Pinkney's unforgettable visual narratives reflect deeply felt personal and cultural themes, bearing witness to the African-American experience, the wonders of classic literature, and the wisdom in well-loved folk tales. A belief in the ability of images to speak about and to humanity is at this Caldecott-winning illustrator's core.
