SCHOOL VISITS focus on how children’s picture books are created. Presentations
can include:
- A hands on look at different steps of illustrating, printing and publishing:
early sketches and dummies with editorial notes, progs (four-color,
separated proofs), f & g’s (folded and gathered proofs), and press
sheets—all which demonstrate the many steps of making a book.
- A classroom art project related to a specific title.
- Artist/group illustration exercise which helps students understand the
process of creating a character and situation.
- Slide or Powerpoint presentation showing the various stages of artwork
from the receipt of the manuscript through the completed book.
Programs are 45 minutes to one hour. Presentations are modified according to the
age range and size of the group.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT workshop themes:
- Visual Literacy and Multicultural Picture Books
- Collaborative Writing and Illustration Projects
