Vanessa Rumaz Boyd, published illustrator and award-winning designer will lead a small group of children to explore the wonderful experience of creating a picture book. Children will learn how to work in a collaborative environment and how ideas, pictures and words can come alive inside the pages of a book.

Lessons will include how and where to get inspiration, how to brainstorm,
how to create a ”dummy”, how to discover the different angles of a story, how to plan for text and illustrations, editing copy, binding, and marketing, as well as hands-on exercises. Children will also get to meet a writer, an illustrator or an editor and ask questions. At the end of camp, children will hold a book fair and will present their books.
