Hardin-Simmons University professor of art Steve Neves played his familiar role in this year’s Children’s Art + Literacy Festival (CALF) with the unveiling of nine new bronze sculptures in Abilene’s Storybook Garden as part of the “100 Aker Wood” expansion.

For Neves, the project reflects both artistic discipline and a deep respect for the legacy of children’s literature.

“The real goal with these as with the other storybook characters is to stay as true as possible to the original illustrations,” said Neves. “We are really trying to honor those artists who made these characters that so many people love.”
