On January 15, 2011, Maxwell Newhouse hosted the launch of Counting on Snow, his latest picture book for ages 2-5. The event was held at the Chilliwack Art Gallery in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Here are some of the photos from the reception, courtesy of Maxwell Newhouse.

Maxwell invited local schools to attend and provided lots of healthy snacks and refreshments.

Maxwell had all the original paintings displayed from Counting on Snow for attendees to see.

He also showcased original artwork from The Weber Street Wonder Work Crew.

As well as The House That Max Built.

Here comes the rush of signings books and posters!

If you were not able to attend the launch, Maxwell Newhouse’s art installation will be on display until February 17, 2011. We recommend that you stop by to check them out!
