Hana launched the new play development program, expanded the community engagement and civic discourse initiatives, and developed and produced Tony, Grammy, Pulitzer and Obie Award-winning shows.

Aug 30, 2014. Bryan Collier appears at the 2014 Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. Speaker Biography: Children's book writer and illustrator Bryan Collier has been using his unique style of watercolors and photo collage since he was a teenager. His first book, "Uptown," which he wrote and illustrated, won the Coretta Scott King Award for illustration and the Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Award. Written by Daniel Beaty and illustrated by Bryan Collier, "Knock, Knock: My Dads Dream for Me" (Little, Brown) displays the love that an absent parent can leave behind even when separated by death, abandonment, incarceration or other variables in life. This groundbreaking picture book inspires young readers, especially those in single-parent households, as it shows the strength children find in themselves as they grow up and follow their dreams. Collier's textured watercolors and collage illustrations of the urban setting, paired with the text, breathe life into the storyline to portray a memorable tale of love, loss and hope. Collier won the 2014 Coretta Scott King Book Award for Illustration in "Knock, Knock: My Dad's Dream for Me."
