Class Description
How does one go about starting a career in children’s literature?” Our DeCal is molded out of this question, and we will seek to find an answer under the guidance of these three pillars: Inspiration, Creation, and Publication.
This is a project-based class where students will experience creating their own children's book and learn more about the publishing industry.
This DeCal is perfect for writers who dream of publishing a children's book, artists who want hands-on experience in illustrating a project, and anyone who just wants to have fun, learn something new and make their inner child shine through!
