Crafting Children’s Picture Books

Aug 5, 2025 | 2025 Archive, Picture Books

The students are already in production! It has been fabulous watching the students start brainstorming ideas about potential storylines after analysing existing picture books. They have learnt about the target audience, and the difference between a picture book and a story book.

It is a hive of activity as the students grapple with everything from ideas, to content, to judiciously choosing words, to target audiences and production!
