Picture Book Harmony:

The Marriage of Story and Art

Picture books are a unique art form because of the way the illustrations and words interact within a limited space. While these creative boundaries can be challenging, they have the potential to make the storytelling shine. Celebrated author-illustrator team Philip C. Stead and Erin E. Stead will draw from classic examples as well as their own books to navigate the process of bringing a book to life and reveal how picture book text and art can come together in perfect harmony!

Picture Book Summit is launching into our ninth year and the fun has just begun. Plan to join us October 7, 2023 for a full day of online picture book writing fun including:

• Three Superstar Speaker Presentations
• Two in-depth Craft Workshops
• Agent Panel
• Editor Panel
