520 |a Everyone has a story to tell -- and now you can learn how to tell it in your own picture book, using this helpful, humor-filled guide from an award-winning creator. Have you ever wanted to create your own story--and capture it for posterity? Elys Dolan brings her comic touch to the process by portraying her narrator-self as a friendly worm named Bert (it's quicker to draw than a person!). How do you come up with something to write about? Build and flesh out your story? Use color and space effectively? From combining two favorite things to form a story idea to interviewing your characters to physically putting a book together, the author walks readers through some surprisingly comprehensive beginners techniques that may have something to offer even seasoned storytellers. This witty, fun, conversational, step-by-step guide--part picture book, part activity book--is packed with prompts, exercises, tips, and jokes. So find your inspiration, grab your pens and pencils, and get making!--.  |c Provided by publisher.
