PICTURING WORDS, WRITING PICTURES
My presentations focus on the amazing things that happen when you put words and pictures together. I'll talk about the words and pictures I've created in books like D is for Doodle and How to Win Friends and Influence Creatures. Students will visualize, verbalize, make pictures out of letters and stories out of pictures. Sometimes the kids will turn themselves into pictures --- plus everybody will receive a magic tool for making words and pictures that fly.
