Illustrator R.W. Alley on how he brings Paddington Bear to life

from PBS News Hour - Segments · host PBS News

The origin of Paddington is one worth noting on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Michael Bond recalled seeing Jewish children arriving in Britain during World War II with name cards around their necks and suitcases in their hands. That inspired the beloved bear, and a Rhode Island artist is helping to keep the story alive. Ocean State Media's Pamela Watts reports for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
