The Craftsbury Public Library will host author Christine McDonnell on Sunday, June 29 at 4pm.  Christine will lead a workshop exploring this form where words and pictures merge to create a world, often in just thirty-two pages and under five hundred words. Workshop participants will examine the parts and structure of the picture book, its challenges and possibilities; enjoy examples by the best contemporary authors and illustrators; and unleash the magic of the picture book to entertain and amaze. 

 “Picture books are a beautiful, sophisticated and vibrant art form, the source of some of the most profound reading experiences in children’s (and adults’) lives.” Mac Barnett, National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature.
