Have you ever wondered what makes some picture books so good that kids (and parents!) want to read them over and over again? Ever have a hankering to write such a story? Come join us as we examine books such as Where the Wild Things Are, Bear Snores On, This Jazz Man, and many more. By the end of the class you will have learned what makes a story compelling to kids, how illustrations and text work together, and be able to identify different styles of picture books. Most importantly, you will have your own stories to share! 

This course focuses on the writing of picture books not the actual making of them.

Larissa Theule has an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts as well as a Masters in Education. She believes in the transformative power of a good book.
