Birth of a Picture Book
May 4 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am EDT
Join Yangsook Choi as she takes the audience through the creative process of bookmaking: the power of imagination, writing, storyboarding, illustrating, and honing problem-solving skills.
Yangsook Choi grew up in Korea. She started drawing at age four and loved telling her grandma scary stories. After moving to New York to pursue her art, she has written and illustrated many books for young readers. Her books have been acclaimed as “Best of the Best” by the Chicago Public Library, included on the American Library Association Notable Books List. They have received the International Reading Association’s Children’s Book Award.
When she is not creating, she loves to spend time with children in her community and worldwide.
