Grab a big piece of paper and some brightly colored markers because today we are mind-mapping our way to great picture book ideas! 

Listen to excerpts from our Picture Book Summit workshop with author and educator Rob Sanders. Rob is known for his funny and fierce fiction and nonfiction picture books and is recognized as one of the pioneers in the arena of LGBTQ+ literary nonfiction picture books. Rob’s books include Two Grooms on A Cake: The Story of America’s First Gay Wedding (Little Bee Books) and Mayor Pete: The Story of Pete Buttigieg (Henry Holt & Co).

Rob shows how mapping your experiences and personal favorites can bring you one step closer to creating stories that uniquely you. 

Get ready for the ideas to flow!
