Welcome to my Picture Books 101 post series, in which I talk about the basics of writing and illustrating picture books for young readers. This used to be hosted on Substack, but I’ve decided to move my posts as well as update and continue them on my own website and blog.

Part 1: Getting Started

Part 2: Beginner Tips For Illustrators

Part 3: Understanding Picture Book Format and Construction

More to come!
