Podcast – PBSummit Roundtable: Fresh Takes
Today we bring you a super fun episode of the PBSummit Roundtable episode as we talk about fresh takes in picture books. Our Roundtable discussions are where we discuss news and topics affecting picture book writers and illustrators today.
Agents and publishers are always saying they’re looking for stories that are “fresh and unique”, but what does that mean? Our Roundtable discussion centers around fresh angles in picture books.
Listen in as we take a look at some truly unique stories which perfectly exemplify what fresh takes on classic picture book topics can look like, and the common thread between them.
Books talked about in today’s episode:
- How This Book Got Read written by Margaret Chiu Greanias and illustrated by Melissa Iwai
- The World’s Best Class Plant written by Liz Garton Scanlon and Audrey Vernick and illustrated by Lynnor Bontigao
- Time is a Flower written and illustrated by Julie Morstad
