A really common piece of feedback I give to picture book writers is: "Your main character needs more agency!"
If you've heard this note before, here are a few picture books to study. They all feature MCs with lots of agency!
When @kristinwauson posted this image a while back I immediately wanted to know the story behind it and emailed her being like "Hi! Can this be our next project?!" And now we have a dummy and it's gorgeous and magical and the vibes are Frozen meets Klaus and I'm in love!! ✨🎄🎁
Two incredible client books publish today—THE IHEARDS by @EmilySkeie and COME DOWN SOMEWHERE by @JennWright18—a picture book about gossip and a novel about the Trinity Test. ✨
Have you heard that THE IHEARDS, a follow-up book to THE WHATIFS, publishes today? It’s such a relevant book about pesky birdlike creatures that chirp gossip and misinformation, and the brilliant team—@EmilySkeie, @zoepersicoart, and @littlebeebooks—completely nailed it. 🥳
Take a peek inside MR. THATCHER'S HOUSE by @kristinwauson, coming soon from @SleepingBearBks! 👀✨
You might’ve heard about THE WHATIFS, but have you heard about THE IHEARDS? I heard they’re birdlike creatures that buzz around spreading rumors... Brilliantly written by @EmilyKilgore, beautifully illustrated by @ZoePersico. @littlebeebooks
MR. THATCHER’S HOUSE is author/illustrator @kristinwauson’s debut picture book!
Displaced fairytale characters—like the witch whose home was eaten by Hansel & Gretel, and the 3 little pigs whose homes were wrecked by the Big Bad Wolf—all find refuge at Mr. T’s. @SleepingBearBks
