Part of the Baker & Taylor 2024 Summer Reading Prize Program - our panelists engaged in a conversation on art and drawing for young readers - and library love!
We were joined by illustrator Jason Chin, illustrator for iREAD 2024 and illustrator of Life After Whale: the Amazing Ecosystem of a Whale Fall, coming in June from Neal Porter Books as well as Tara Audibert of JoJo Makoons Fancy Pants from Heartdrum and graphic novelist Rachel Dinunzio, author of Forsynthia: Rise of the Cupcakes from Paw Prints Publishing.
Special thanks to our colleagues and partners at Candlewick Press, HarperCollins and Paw Prints Publishing for joining us!
