Everyone has a story to tell–and now you can learn how to tell it in your own picture book, using this helpful, humor-filled guide from an award-winning creator.
Have you ever wanted to create your own story–and capture it for posterity? Elys Dolan brings her comic touch to the process by portraying her narrator-self as a friendly worm (it’s quicker to draw than a person!). How do you come up with something to write about? Build and flesh out your story? Use color and space effectively? From combining two favorite things to form a story idea to “interviewing” your characters to physically putting a book together, the author walks readers through some surprisingly comprehensive beginners’ techniques that may have something to offer even seasoned storytellers. This witty, fun, conversational, step-by-step guide–part picture book, part activity book–is packed with prompts, exercises, tips, and jokes. So find your inspiration, grab your pens and pencils, and get making!Author: Elys Dolan
