Writing the First Draft of History
In Mr. Trump’s Wild Ride, Major Garrett provides what journalists are often said to do, but usually don’t: a true first draft of history. His goal was to sift through the mountains of distracting tweets and shrieking headlines in order to focus on the most significant moments of Trump’s young presidency, the ones that Garrett believes will have a lasting impact. The result is an authoritative, mature, and consistently entertaining account of one of the strangest eras in American political history.

Editorial Assistant
Thanks to Ann Tanenbaum we were connected with brilliant author Sue DiCicco, whose poetry and lively illustrations were a perfect fit for our museum’s first children’s book, Adventures in Asian Art. Ann immediately understood how this book underscored our mission to creatively inspire audiences of all ages.
