Author/Illustrator Richard Jesse Watson
leads an interactive discussion about the making of children’s books.
Watson examines how writing and illustrating for kids requires looking
through both ends of the telescope. Children stargaze by reading books.
Bring your pointy hat and join one alchemist in a look beyond the mists
to re-enter the dream that was childhood.
More about Richard Jesse Watson: As a writer and illustrator of picture books, he has snooped
around Egyptian tombs, sipped python soup in a Malaysian jungle, chewed
the fat with chimpanzees, and shared breakfast with an orangutan. He has
hung out of an airplane over Port Townsend, pulled rabbits out of hats,
dinked around with petrified dinosaur dung, and been wounded by his
T-Rex maquette—real blood. Watson’s version of The Night Before Christmas was a New York Times bestseller. The Lord’s Prayer received a Kirkus starred review, and Kirkus also proclaimed The Magic Rabbit “exuberant.”
