Above the school’s library entrance are names of famous children’s book authors.
Snyder’s illusionary granite blocks immortalize E.B.
White, Milne, Grahame, McCloskey and Potter.
Quote:
As Snyder painted “Potter” onto the mural, curious students who routinely tracked the work in progress demonstrated a generation gap between the artist and his audience.
Snyder was honoring Beatrix Potter, author of “Peter Rabbit,” but the Brooklin students read it differently.
“A number of kids thought it must be for Harry Potter,” Snyder said.
Quote:
Snyder insists the Potter in question is Beatrix Potter, but the students won their case, too.
Many of the characters in the mural are reading or are surrounded by children’s books, including one of the Harry Potter books.
Despite their difference of opinion regarding Potter, the students were fascinated with Snyder’s work.
