Through sketches and behind-the-book anecdotes, the step-by-step book-making process becomes accessible to even the youngest student. Every presentation features several books, at least two sketches, and Q&A time to address the individual interests of young writers and artists.

- Workshops: More personal, one-on-one programs with smaller groups of selected students and/or adults who have an interest in writing or illustrating.
