Write a real picture book. We illustrate and print it.
A craft seminar for grown-ups — the parent or grandparent making a book for one child, and the aspiring author. Bring a story from your life; leave with a finished book, illustrated and printed, your name on the cover. No experience needed, and you never have to draw.
