Midday Fix: Celebrating diversity and acceptance with children’s book author Michael Tyler with a cake for MLK Day
Michael Tyler, author of the children’s book The Skin You Live In and cake baking expert
Michael Tyler’s popular picture book for children “The Skin You Live In” helped inspire Chicago Children’s Theatre and local playwright Gloria Bond Clunie to create My Wonderful Birthday Suit!, a new play for kids ages 4 to 7 opening next week about diversity acceptance.
Michael’s second passion is baking, so next Monday, Michael will be serving his family’s famous “Butter Cake” at Chicago Children’s Theatre’s free Open House to celebrate both Martin Luther King’s birthday, and Chicago Children’s Theatre’s first birthday in its home, The Station, 100 S. Racine Avenue.
