Event Details

What makes a great picture book? You’ll find out together. They’ll dissect your favorite picture books, focusing each month on a different angle. You’ll go on a book hunt through the bookstore, and then finish up with some time to write down or sketch about what you’ve discovered.

Illustrators Charlotte Cheng and Diana Toledano lead this workshop/book club where all participants come to learn from each other.

This Month’s Topic is: What Makes a Great Protagonist?

Things to Note:

  • Feel free to bring a book from your personal collection, but remember, a good surgeon doesn’t have a relationship with the patient. In other words, please do not bring your own work to discuss.
  • The people at the Booksmith are super kind letting them host their meetings there, but they won’t be giving you any special treatment… You can politely ask them to carry your books or host your author event, just be aware that the answer might be “no”.

Free but RSVP required thru eventbrite.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
