This is a very informative event with a number of writers, illustrators, agents, editors and librarians sharing their knowledge about their work.
If you'd like to meet me, I will be there as a faculty member on Saturday, July 10.
Kathryn Otoshi and I are going to speak about collaborating with the writer from the illustrator's perspective.
Private consultations are also available.

Let's let that Cat out of this Hat

My next picture book to be published is THE MONSTER PRINCESS, written by D. J. MacHale.
It will be published by Alladin, an imprint of Simon&Schuster in August 2010.
You'll meet Lala, a little monster, who went straight to my heart.
This is a story about finding yourself, about self acceptance and about what is really important in life.
About the author:
D.J. MacHale is a writer, director, executive producer and creator of several popular television series and movies.  As an author, his ten-volume book series:  PENDRAGON – JOURNAL OF AN ADVENTURE THROUGH TIME AND SPACE became a New York Times #1 bestseller.
