One of the best ways to celebrate an author visit together, is to have the students introduced to my picture books ahead of time -- and then have them respond to my illustrations with their own original art work.
Join me in a walk down memory lane of projects created using my books as a springboard to creativity.
Most of these projects were done prior to my arrival on site, sometimes under the direction of the school's art teacher, and other times as directed by any number of classroom teachers. Several times, I have had the opportunity to direct the art process amid the students: PRICELESS!
I have organized this inspiration by my three picture books. So we will start with "You're Wonderful."

Here's a quick slide-show of work created by Greg of Kindergarten Smorgasbord fame, in anticipation of my arrival. Enjoy the process as it unfolds -- across his classroom.
