Author-Artist Maira Kalman's 'Pursuit of Everything' Comes to Atlanta

Maira Kalman is perhaps best known by adults for the now iconic
"New Yorkistan" and other covers for The New Yorker , or a dozen
books including A nd the Pursuit of Happiness and The Principles of
Uncertainty . Kids, on the other hand, know her better for the 18
picture books she's written and illustrated. Kalman's picture books
for children are the inspiration for an exhibition opening this
week at the High Museum of Art. It's called The Pursuit of
Everything . One of her books, Max Makes a Million , is also being
adapted for the stage. Kalman is in town for the play's world
premiere at the Alliance Theatre and the exhibition's opening this
weekend, but first, she joined On Second Thought from New York.
