CT Summer Story Project: Author vs Illustrator a visit from Donald Lemke and Bob Lentz

Thursday, July 30 | 3:00-4:00

 

Register for CT Author vs. Illustrator a visit from Donald Lemke and Bob Lentz


For the CT Summer Story project we asked library staff to write and illustrate stories inspired by their communities. To cap it all off we'll have a Zoom visit from two creators who made a picture book all about collaboration, Author vs. Illustrator. 

This laugh-out-loud story about the not-so-simple process of creating a picture book is sure to be a hit with your kids or students. Full of over-the-top humor and under-the-radar lessons -- including the skills of teamwork, conflict resolution, and respect -- this book is a must-have for young writers, budding artists, librarians, teachers, and lifelong book lovers.  
This event is presented in partnership with Capstone, CT Humanities, and CT Center for the Book.

Presenter:
