Action Jackson, a #PB #biography about Jackson Pollock, is a great read and a great study for anyone who wants to write a bio for kids. Immediately, the reader is told that some of the story is imagined. The loose #Illustration style fits me, too. #PWPoePrompts #FridayReads
Yesterday, an editor encouraged me about my #PB #biography #manuscript about #janisjoplin. He recommended Action Jackson {Jackson Pollock] as a model to help me with some of the awkward spots in my book. Great Book! #PWPoePrompts #FridayReads
The Agony and the Ecstasy of being a #writer is that you love to collect books, but then you have difficulty finding time to read them. Yet, reading fuels my writing. I am declaring every Friday #FridayReads, as a time that I'll #read at least a bit from my books #PWPoePrompts
Character studies for my #PB manuscript Pete's Circus, which is set during the Great Depression. [no caged animals or cruelty involved]. A publisher says these remind him of illustrations in The Return of the Dapper Men. #PWPoePrompts #FridayReads
A publisher liked the vintage look of the character studies for my #PB manuscript Pete's Circus, which is set during the Great Depression. [no caged animals or cruelty involved]. He encouraged me to read Return of the Dapper Men. #PWPoePrompts #FridayReads #graphicnovel
At several #SCBWI events, @dsantat has been noted as a favorite #PB #author #illustrator. Finally, I bought his After the Fall. It is more about conquering #Fear & Getting Back Up than merely about Humpty Dumpty. Excellent Book. Delightful. #PWPoePrompts #FridayReads
A closer look at the bookshelf in my studio. Black and White Cows are the patron saints of my #PB #illustration. The angel made from an old quilt is also important. #PWPoePrompts Book Shelfie
The Secret Life of a Tiger #illustration by Emilia Dziubak
#Illutrating a too-green scene is tricky. Before you know it, your image is a true #jungle. Check out how Emilia Dziubak breaks up all that #green #PWPoePrompt
Over the years, I've watched a lot of trends in picture books come in and go out, but at a recent #SCBWI event, there was a huge outcry for #PB with handwritten text. Check out A Squiggly Story as a text that has been handwritten. #PWPoePrompts
