Show Me a Story!: Why Picture Books Matter: Conversations with 21 of the World's Most Celebrated Illustrators by Leonard S. Marcus

3.0

I always shy away from nonfiction because it usually isn't as captivating and tends to drag on. Why children's books seemed like a fascinating subject, this one had a lot of drag potential. But I found it to be fascinating. I found myself going to the library to look up some of the illustrators and check out their work. Makes me want to read more with my kids and try to write more children's books. The best chapters were Mo Willems, Ashley Bryan and Chris Raschka--more because I connected with them than anything they said.
