The biggest names in the children’s book industry gathered on Tuesday evening to bid farewell to Paula Quint, president and executive director of the Children’s Book Council, who is retiring this month after 40 years at the CBC.

Several veterans who have retired from the business, including Susan Hirschman, John Keller, Jim Giblin, Eden Ross Lipson and Paulette Kaufmann, were among the many who gathered to pay tribute to Quint. In a speech, Simon Boughton, chair of the CBC’s board of directors, called Quint “a champion of children’s books, and an unfailing advocate for our industry and its ideals.” In the first photo, Quint displays a personalized drawing from Kevin Henkes based on Kitten’s First Full Moon, given to her by the CBC board.
