PBS Kids Favorite Arthur Brings Joy to Georgia Children

GPB IN THE COMMUNITY

ARTHUR BRINGS JOY TO THE COLUMBUS CHILDREN’S BOOK FESTIVAL AND COMPASSIONCON

Arthur, the star of television’s longestrunning children’s animated series and everyone’s favorite aardvark, joined GPB for two events in May, including the Columbus Children’s Book Festival and CompassionCon. The weekday PBS Kids series Arthur, based on the bestselling books by Marc Brown, celebrated its 25th anniversary earlier this year and has touched audiences around the world with its heartfelt and humorous stories about family, friends and the challenges of growing up.

Brown, one of the nation’s most acclaimed authors and illustrators for children, joined Arthur and GPB staff members for the Columbus Children’s Book Festival, hosted by the Columbus Public Library.

Arthur’s next stop with GPB was CompassionCon, an outdoor festival in Grant Park hosted by Compassionate Atlanta, a non-profit which seeks to raise awareness about the benefits of compassionate action throughout the Greater Atlanta area.
