Lois V. Harris, author of MARY CASSATT: IMPRESSIONIST PAINTER and the forthcoming CHARLIE RUSSELL: TALE-TELLING COWBOY ARTIST, has a book recommendation for us:
At the SCBWI Conference in L.A., I bought Ann Whitford Paul’s new book, WRITING PICTURE BOOKS, published by Writer’s Digest Books in 2009.The book is a hands-on guide from story creation to publication. I just finished reading it and recommend it not only to picture book writers but to all writers of children’s literature. At the end of every chapter, Ann includes activities to make sure you understand what she covered. In easy to understand language, she provides helpful tips and advice. Some of the material is from her conference talks. The book is a GEM.

Although I have not finished Ann's book, I agree with Lois. WRITING PICTURE BOOKS is a wonderful hands-on guide. Ann presents the information in a clear form to insure understanding. The activities at the end of each chapter add to the reader's understanding. A GEM indeed.
