Books About Picture Books
There are many books about writing and illustrating children's books -- I thought I would share with you some of my favorites. These are books that have helped me learn a lot about the process, techniques and design involved in the creation of picture books.
Also helpful are books in which illustrators share their experiences both in creating art and becoming professional illustrators:
 |
| Writing with Pictures by Uri Shulevitz 9780823059355 |
 |
| Illustrating Children's Books by Martin Salisbury 9780764127175 |
 |
| Illustrating Children's Picture Books by Steven Withrow 9782888930549 |
Also helpful are books in which illustrators share their experiences both in creating art and becoming professional illustrators:
Talking with Artists by Pat Cummings is a series of three books filled with personal interviews with illustrators. Geared towards children, these volumes are just as enjoyable for adults. I first discovered them at the Children's Room in our public library (and soon got copies for myself!)
More recently, Show and Tell: Exploring the Fine Art of Children's Book Illustration by Dilys Evans is a must read, with terrific in depth chapters on 12 amazing artists, including one of my favorites, Betsy Lewin:
Do you have a favorite book too? Do share!
