To celebrate the awards,The Art Institute of Chicago is currently exhibiting Heart and Soul: Art from Coretta Scott King Award Books. The exhibit, which runs through Sunday, Apr. 18, features illustrations from influential and memorable passages from the books of award recipients.
Heart and Soul is on display at the Ryan Education Center, 111 S. Michigan Ave. Museum hours and admission prices vary; contact 312-443-3600 for more information.
