This summer I'll be leading a curated picture book reading workshop (teachers may be able to get credit!) at the gorgeous Hollins University. We have hundreds of picture books to enjoy, including the submissions for the annual Margaret Wise Brown Prize. These are the most recent picture books sent in by publishers each year, so, teachers, you can stay up-to-date on the latest hits! Come immerse yourself in your reading passions, but also enjoy strolls around campus, petting horsey noses, the charming farmers market in downtown Roanoke, and the camaraderie in this bubble of joy we call our home each summer. You'll want to come every year!
Picture Book Trends: A Curated Reading Workshop
Instructor: Elizabeth Dulemba
Wednesday, June 12 – Sunday, June 16, 2019
Are you a teacher or librarian overwhelmed by the prospect of picking out the best new picture books for your young readers? Are you a creator who needs to stay on top of today’s picture book marketplace? If so, let this expert guide you on a curated reading journey. Over the course of five days, award-winning children’s book author and illustrator Elizabeth Dulemba will work you through the picture book submissions for the annual Margaret Wise Brown Prize and other best-sellers, covering current themes and trends, and pointing out the written and visual tricks that make them popular, successful, and beloved. By the end of the week, you will have a solid grasp of the current picture book landscape to better prepare you to recommend books to others or create them yourself. Workshop limited to 12 participants.
