Creating Children’s Books with Lisa Maria Burgess at the Olive Free Library

  • Olive Free Library 4033 New York 28A West Shokan, NY, 12494 United States (map)

As an author and illustrator, Lisa creates books that embody multilingual cultural contexts and that celebrate joy in our daily lives. She creates illustrations for these books with hand stitched appliqué and quilting.

In this talk, Lisa provides stellar examples of narrative art for children that inspire her. Using her book, SnowPal Soccer / Les Copains de Neige Jouent au Foot as an example, Lisa walks through every step of the artistic and publishing process. If you are interested in any aspect of creating children's books, or just love the medium, this program is for you.
