Sponsored by the Friends of the Black Mountain Library, “An Evening with David Kherdian & Nonny Hogrogian” will not only give the community a chance to interact with the prolific artists, it will also be an opportunity for Black Mountain residents to welcome new neighbors. That's precisely what will take place at the Black Mountain-Tyson Public Library at 7 p.m. Kherdian has earned critical acclaim throughout his writing career, which has spanned nearly 70 years, and is perhaps best known for his 1979 biography of his mother, “The Road from Home.” Hogrogian is the recipient of two Caldecott Medals, awarded annually to the illustrator of the year’s “most distinguished American picture book for children.”Ī far more unforgettable experience would be meeting the couple in an intimate space, as Kherdian reads past and present works in a setting adorned by pieces of Hogrogian’s art. It’s not uncommon, while strolling through a library, to find books containing the acclaimed writings of David Kherdian, or the award-winning illustrations of his wife Nonny Hogrogian. ![]()
