The daily blog of Laurel Snyder, children's author, poet, mother, and occasional loose cannon. Posts range from rants about publishing to book reviews to pictures of Laurel's adorable rascals (awwwwww!!!). Not to mention periodic raves about new products from Trader Joe's and once in awhile, a cuss word or three (!!!)
1. Do YOU have a picture book in you?

For years I’ve been dreaming up a picture book class, and now it’s a reality!  Soooo excited about The Decatur Writers’ Studio.

“Picture books are perhaps the most inventive popular literary form we have, and that’s exciting!  You can do ANYTHING in a picture book, if you do it well enough.  But that makes it hard to know where to begin, and how to proceed.  Picture books aren’t just about telling a story or teaching a lesson. They’re about capturing a voice or character in a few short words, collaborating with visual space, considering the way children truly think, and sculpting words and sounds to leave a deep and lasting impression.  Picture books are poetry, even when they don’t feel like it.”
