Karina’s and my book talk at the Ela Public Library in Lake Zurich, Illinois, went very well. About twenty children and 8 adults were there, and the interest seemed high and enthusiastic. We included four children in the audience as readers for our “readers’ theater” presentation of chapter 3. Karina explained each of her illustrations and how she knew what and how to draw them. We talked about our collaboration. Questions were asked about our publisher, art supplies needed for the illustrations, etc.
This week the Chicago Tribune, local sections for Mundelein and Lake Zurich, posted an article about Karina’s and my collaboration. Check it out: http://www.triblocal.com/Lake_Zurich/
