Addition 14 of MSS 16758, The UVA Collection on Childhood, Parenting, and Family Building contains two promotional posters (22"X6") for the 1965 and 1967 New York Children's Book Week. The art of Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Barbara Cooney made the artwork for the 1965 poster.

The other poster from 1967 contains a linocut illustration of hot air balloons with a floating banner reading "Take Off With Books." Marcia Brown, the only triple Caldecott Medal winner, made the art for this poster.
