THIS Saturday, I’ll be reading my new illustrated book, Lilibet Makes A Friend, at Read It Again Books in Suwanee, GA! After storytime, kids can decorate their own idea notebooks (just like Lilibet), and if you purchase a copy of the book at the event, you can get a FREE caricature drawn on-site by Brush & Bean!

Bring the COOLEST illustration exhibit to YOUR school hallways!

Want your WHOLE school to be talking about art and books? THIS large, eye-catching, print-on-your-own exhibit is just the thing to make it happen!!

There are many, many different ways that illustrators approach kids’ book art, and these display posters highlight the creative processes of over 20 talented illustrators from the GA/AL/FL region. The only cost involved is that of printing.

It’s SO easy:

  1. Get in touch
  2. Print the poster files
  3. Hang and ENJOY!
  4. Recycle the posters by passing them to another school when you are finished :)

Love, Shanda
